it didn't came out as offensive, just ideologic. you don't have to worry  
to be polite.

hmm, doesn't "being more concentrated in mac/gnu-linux" means "stop  
releasing code for windows"? you weren't suggesting something radical like  
delete windows builds of the servers, but you were sugesting to stop  
releasing code for a specific os.

not really. just because I'm on windows doesn't mean I'm an imperialist  
sob. I use as much free software or shareware as I can (as long as it  
works). but I never went to someone and said "the guys that use the system  
X don't really appreciate your ideology, stop wasting your time with them".

I'm not interested in battles, only debates or dialog.

exactly. this isn't about the systems, it's about the ideology. if in one  
paragraph you say "BUT: Do really people care about programs like PD or  
the ideology/democratic openess behind GNU-Linux when they use windows?",  
and then in the other you say you yourself don't make the sacrifices to  
keep to the same ideology you're judging others on, what authority do you  
have in the first place to be making judgments?
