Unity ROCKS!!!

[Justin Stanczak]

Just wanted to jump in here. I want to say first free alternatives for
windows applications are great. They work just fine for me. However I have a
hard time getting windows users to use them. To that end, the single thing
keeping Linux from pulling an Android on Windows is applications PERIOD.
Linux is ready, but we have a hairball clogging the drain, and it's called
MS Office, Adobe, and video games. You can pretty much put video games at
the top of that list. When games go, Unity I'm looking at you (the game dev
ide, not ubuntu), others will follow.

The best possible thing Linux can do right now is get Android market on
Linux. Make the Android SDK work good on desktops. I'm sure this is all in
the works now. Android is the first big crack in the Windows dam:) I for one
would love to use the same apps on my laptop, tablet and phone. I'm not
alone.
