I have been doing Linux development for about 2.5 years now and I must say that its a very liberating experience.  So when I found this link on slashdot today I could really empathize with the author.  Nobody (with the exception of Adobe and game makers) makes tons of money selling Windows software.  Why?  Because if your application is really that popular, useful, and marketable then Microsoft will simply include it in a future version of Windows.  (i.e.  Netscape, Norton Utilities, Real Player, ICQ/AIM, ACDSee)  Its not hard to make pretty good money but you are always beholden to the Microsoft “owner.”
