I thought your presentation was the cleanest. One question though. You mentioned that Redmonk is opensource and all the content is free. Are there analyst reports available for free of your website. If so how do I access it. Or is all the free content is what is on this blog? Good work at the NXT show. I thought your presentation was the cleanest.

As you point out in the deck by implication, a piece of software is rarely, if ever, going to cause someone to change OS platforms. Providing the software on multiplie platforms does provide the *ability* to do so much more easily, and that is where those that may not wish Microsoft revenue or market share can act. Provide your software on the Windows platform, and the Linux platform, and even the *BSD and/or Mac OS X or [insert other os here]. At least if your software is avialable on Windows, the people running windows may use it, and if it's available on other platforms, they have another vector to switch if they choose. If you steadfastly remain isolated on your platform or moral highground, the Windows userbase will happily, (and to Stephen's point with the large volume of users without penalty) remain on windows and oblivious to your efforts. I think the slide of the black sheep sums it up best. It's your choice. Is there going to be a 'cast of the talk Stephen?
