Most probably i dont buy commercial chess program, because i am pretty happy with crafty/scid/xboard. Im not against buying commerical software, but what great features can commerial software offer to me what i really need and cant find in crafty/scid/xboard? If somebody finds that xboard is hard to configure, then there are also new easy to use interfaces like eboard or knights. This is of course very nice when there is more chess software for Linux. But i think its very hard to sell commercial chess software for Linux. In linux there is already good free/open source software.
