Hi Derek,

Do you really think that there are "many" people who don't have access to a Windows PC? As I understand it, Windows has somewhere around a mid-90s % market share of the desktop market, with the Mac running at about 5% and Linux well under 1%. While many people may wish for a native Linux or Mac version of "Connect", I suspect that most of those people do have access to a machine running Windows if they're being honest about it .

I very much believe that being able to buy books using a simple web browser is a far more convenient approach, but I'm unconvinced that "Connect" being Windows-only is really a practical problem for many people.
