So you're being locked in by various vendors and you don't like that (I assume). Then open source tries to change that and suddenly you ... start whining even harder? Err.. I mean, you want to retaliate? Like: You won't let us use your gems and now we'll make sure you never get ours?
There are quite a few closed-source applications that do work pretty well multi-platform: flash, acrobat reader, opera and skype for example.
And, quite a few open-source applications that already fine on windows: gimp (and lots of other GTK+ applications like pidgin and evolution), Eclipse and firefox.
Most (application) projects aim at providing a useful application. Most application developers don't care about the operating system you use. If it's possible, why NOT make it work on windows or OSX?
