Yeah, like I've said many times, it's a chicken & egg type of thing. On the one hand developers don't want to focus on an OS with a smaller userbase, yet the userbase doesn't grow rapidly because of lack of popular commercial apps.

Fortunately for me I've found alternatives to most of the commercial stuff that I think works just as well or better in many cases. It'll happen, I'm confident of that. Just how long will it take to cross that threshold where the userbase is high enough for massive switch by commercial software vendors is the question. I think we're on the verge with the latest distro releases. It will also prompt hardware vendors to start contributing open drivers to the kernel team.
