People ask: will you port QLab to Windows or Linux? The answer is: Totally fair question, but it's very unlikely. Here's a little discussion about why!

This is why you should always build on free platforms and frameworks. Now it's too late and you're stuck …

We are, generally speaking, very happy where we are, and do not feel stuck at all. If I could go back in time to when I started, I would not change anything. ~C

I hope it continues to work out for you. But I know that a lot of people I talked to about QLab roll their eyes when they hear it's a Mac-only software and thus they are severely limited in their choice of hardware. Everyone here would prefer a linux version. (yet no one would run it on windows :-)

Then we are having quite different experiences! I'd say we get a request for Windows every week or two, but I could probably count on one hand the total number of requests we've received for Linux.
