I find now, though, that my frustrations no longer focus on what OS a particular person/business uses, but that so many things these days are locked into one OS or another. I understand that older projects are very difficult to convert from platform dependent to platform independent, but projects begun in these days when users understand they HAVE a choice in OS usually don't have an excuse for platform lock-in. I say usually, because some OS's just aren't suited for certain things, and it will always be that way. I don't think that's the majority case, though. Great post! If this idea spread through the internet a little faster, we'd put out a lot of flames. You know, I used to be that way.

I understand that older projects are very difficult to convert from platform dependent to platform independent, but projects begun in these days when users understand they HAVE a choice in OS usually don’t have an excuse for platform lock-in. I say usually, because some OS’s just aren’t suited for certain things, and it will always be that way. I don’t think that’s the majority case, though.
