That's the thing. Windows developers are two-a-penny.

Munich's mistake was it thought their suppliers could keep up. Our recent products (mostly banking/gov) are all cross-platform from the start, and browser-based when possible. It's been a strong selling point of ours, and quite a few have gone with us because it gives them flexibility later on (according to the TCs).

People are trying hard to break out of the lock-in, and this Munich project only teaches us how important it is - they tried, but their suppliers where stuck in the past.
