    no no no. Open source apps by definition can't be exclusive to linux. My point is that we should look at the open source aspect as the killer feature of linux and not because it has this "killer" app or "killer" feature that does XYZ that is currently not on Windows. It may eventually be ported. or perhaps we'll see a closed source app on windows with the same features. but it will be a closed source app on a closed source OS and open source apps on linux have an advantage that can't be simply copied

    it doesn't affect how it performs but it takes something away from its exclusiveness. Let's have another example in reverse. MS office is a killer app for Windows. A lot of people feel they can't consider linux because they 'gotta' have MS Office. But what happens if it ended up on linux? They don't need Windows as much anymore. It's much easier for them to switch to linux now that Windows doesnt have the killer app. But it's not going to happen. The point of killer apps is to keep people from considering other platforms because they 'gotta have it'

    it could be a killer open source app but how can it be a killer app for linux if it will be for Windows?

    But thinking in terms of "killer" for one platform is the old way of thinking. Open source itself is the killer feature for an app no matter what platform it's on. But if the platform itself is open source-that's a 2fer.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Japan was found dead this morning. There weren't any more details yet. I'm sure we'll all miss Japan, even if you weren't a fan of his work there's no denying his contribution to popular culture.
