New word! Amortize. Must remember that one.
Seems to me the big companies just don't want to bother with Linux. For example you can get Photoshop for Windows and Mac but not Linux. Odd because 5 years ago Walt Disney tried running Photoshop on Linux with Wine see here, and Google has recently started funding Wine development just to run Photoshop better, see here. There is at least one commercial alternative to Photoshop that runs in Win/Mac/Linux, see here. So if this small company can do it, why not Adobe?
Perhaps up until recently there was not enough reason for the big apps to develop for Linux and they have yet to catch up, or maybe it is just that big-business has a distaste for anything Linux.
