Most but certainly not all of them. Disregarding the large

corporations, who buy Windows PCs by the hundreds or thousands at a

time and distort the statistics, Apple has a 25% market share among

SMBs and consumers. .Net is basically Windows-only (unless you're a

real Mono enthusiast). Are you really willing to say bye-bye to 1/4 of

the market?
