compatability is linuxs down fall always will be as long as the market share stays with ms and apple, linux will be a outsider that only the few will use! who wants to code a game or software for 2% of the market? wheres the profit in that? even apple struggles to enlist people to code for its os thats why nearly all the software is called i this and i that! windows bootcamp for apples need i say more. i even konw someone who bought a netbook with linux as it was a cheaper option then realised linux is rubbish and wiped it off in favour of xp!
