Erm, perhaps because he'd prefer to be able to use MacOSX and Ubuntu (and even Windows) at the same time? Perhaps because he preloads Ubuntu on VPC and then doesn't have to arse around whilst waiting for his machine to reboot every time he wishes to change environments? Perhaps because he's really proud of having a machine with 28 days uptime?

...well, the first "large database company" that I can think of doesn't necessarily always run their products on the supported platforms.
I recently logged a support call with this company against one of their products that is supported on Windows, RHEL and SUSE. When I logged a Windows specific bug the response I got was "Nobody here in the support team runs it on Windows. We'll need a couple of days to do an install to test this"
Of course, I was just grateful that I didn't get a "that isn't supported" response in the first place. Not that Ora^H^H^H"large database company" would ever do that.....
