For years in the windows world and it is still valid today, platforms like Linux or FreeBSD are ignored as if they don't exist. I see some logic in putting most of our effort on free operating systems. There are plenty of corporations spending money and time for windows while ignoring us completely (with a few exceptions). It is not the job of Linux or FreeBSD people to do the work for the windows community, the same community who thinks that we don't count or don't even know that we exist.
