You know, I've been a Linux kernel hacker for more than five years now
and I've spent way too much of my spare time to improve it. So yes, I
care about Linux. I care about it a lot, actually. It's fair to say I
care about Linux more than I care about it more than any other
operating system out there.

[ I thought the 'native Linux' part in 'native Linux KVM tool' was a
dead giveaway, really. ]

Now if people want to support other operating systems, that's cool and
I'm happy to help out where I can. But I don't understand why people
keep bringing non-Linux OSs as an argument for not merging tools/kvm
into the Linux kernel tree. I mean really, did someone actually expect
that a Linux kernel developer spends his weekends improving the state
of Windows virtualization?

And don't get this the wrong way either, I'm not hostile against other
operating systems, but I simply am not interested enough in them to
spend my time improving them.
