No plans for a Mac or Linux version
I was reading Brett Legree's 6 Weeks site and followed a link to Q10 because it sounded interesting. Imagine my surprise when the first text to hit my eyes was this: Q10 runs under Windows. No version for Linux or Mac is planned.
Ehh? Folks don't usually go out of their way to tell you what their product WON'T run on, do they? I suspect some hard feelings here, maybe somone who has been mishandled by a few Linux or Mac Fanboys?
Or maybe (and wouldn't this be ironic) the developers are tired of hearing requests for Linux and Mac versions?
Well, whatever: this product is for Windows only and they want to be darn sure we Unixy cretins know that. So don't bug us about it, okay, because NO OTHER VERSION IS PLANNED.
Yeah, yeah, Linux and Mac market share are growing by leaps and bounds, but NO VERSION IS PLANNED. Got it? Yes, we know Vista sucks, even Microsoft execs know that, but you just aren't listening: NO LINUX OR MAC VERSION IS PLANNED.

re: Linux panties in a knot
Yes, lets start a rant about a small software developer who audaciously decides to focus his time and skills on developing his program for the OS that owns 92% (give or take a few points) of the desktop market.
Since I understand business - I don't really find that important enough to waste time discussing.
What I find more interesting is how such a small developer (i.e. Baara Estudio) can afford to license a photo of Audrey Tautou for their logo - hmmmmmm, now that is interesting.
No knots :-)
I really wasn't ranting - or didn't mean it to come across that way, anyway. I just found it odd that he'd go out of his way to say that..
Oh, by the way: I don't think that other OS is at 92% anymore and they definitely are losing ground.
But why do you say the developer is Baara Estudio? The page says Joaquín Bernal..
Anyway, I was just having some fun - no knots in my panties.
