I mean the major concern of an average romanian is the next day. I heard Romania holds no.2 at computer hacking and is CD-piracy's heaven.
How many architects out there are running Linux on the desktops? How many do you think would buy a Linux Archicad? Unless that number is well into the thousands and they are all new customers, it's not going to be cost effective for GS to pursue. Software manufacturers know the big money is in selling new licenses more than maintaining existing ones (unless they see support services).

it doesn't take a shrink to notice that you despise linux and embrace big-corporation-overstepping-smaller-firms kind of policies. it's either this or you are the kind of guy that thinks "the best way is the knowned way, why search for better ones?!"....

You make a number of good points for why you want it.... the points that matter though are how Graphisoft could benefit from making a Linux version. Why would they want to make it?.

Do not get me wrong I am really with you as I could have seen the situation there which must be really though but introducing Linux versions is not a viable solution.

Yes, microsoft has created monopoly, bugger them, but we want to minimise the cost of IT maintenance (or at least avoid to fiddle with IT) being architects and/or builders etc. it's easy mathematics mate.
