That's too trivial to bother with.  Unnecessary platform dependence is
for dodos, and leads to similar long term results.  Everything else
that could be said about it is just evangelism for the unenlightened.

Microsoft, which used to say all the time that the software business
was ruthlessly competitive, is now matched against a competitor whose
model of production and distribution is so much better that Microsoft
stands no chance of prevailing in the long run. They're simply trying
to scare people out of dealing with a competitor they can't buy,
can't intimidate and can't stop. -- Eben Moglen
