They do. I agree. It's not going to help someone who needs QuickBooks, Peachtree, After Effects, Photoshop, and other apps to work as well as on Windows. WINE is neat, but it's not a solution for SMEs to run their businesses.

What I'm saying is that if Steam can support many distros easily, then it is certainly possible for Intuit/Sage/Adobe to as well without that much extra work than just focusing on one distro. It really comes down to just providing packages for each package manager (Deb, RPM, etc.). Linux environments aren't all THAT different at the end of the day.
