Next time before you comment the linux community in not supplying the commercial application you need. Ask first to the software company that produces it why they don't supply a linux version of the application
if you get an awnser it will be something like "there is no market!", "It works better with windows drivers" "we are considering that in a near future".
It is not for the linux communitie to make comertial applications to work in linux- it it up to the software houses to find advantages (namelly profit) in producing linux applications and leverage that with its cost (contract programmers used to linux instead of vba)
You can't run any application that their sellers don't want in linux...
You cand emulate windows functionalities to make then work.
You talk about loobies against Windows? Never tought about the opposite.
Applications are made to run in windows for ages and Windows claims to have the biggest share of the users market witch is probably true. Therefore Software companies only produces Windows code.
Personally it is easier to imagine:
1. windows putting a lobbie on linux by threatning to "your application might not work so well in our system if you start making linux ports and have a lot of crashes"
2. software companies only produce Windows applications because that is where their end users are. THat produces a dependency because end users actually need that application that runs on windows. And producing applications for an extra OS costs money...
3. software companies don't produce linux applications with fear that someone will decompile it all and find all their secrets...
Linux community can only cope with this by either making it clear to software companies that there is a market in linux OS users (and puting in their head that they don't need to make something open source to put it in linux) or by comming up with new applications that provide the same.
Personnaly I think the first sollution would profit all. The second solution implies struggling to produce products from zero that provide for a few a product that will not be as good as the commercial version (that has years of production and study)
