> So, really, what he offers IS a viable solution for windows developers. Really. Try it before you consider it "narrow minded". You might find the narrow mindedness was not where you expected. I believe that thought is narrow-minded because you are not thinking in terms of enterprise. This would probably work in a startup, or maybe even in a mid-size business. But in an enterprise, going to your manager and asking to fire up a linux VM in a Microsoft shop will probably get you reprimanded (or laughed at). I would love to use linux all day, but we can't do it as there is no freedom to. With a Windows port, I could create a business case for it and get a VM provisioned with Windows Server on it within a short period of time. Honestly, as bad as this sounds, money for small things like Windows licenses is not an issue when it comes to enterprise.

I like it how "not catering for bureaucratic needs of the unpaying enterprise who has no problem paying Microsoft an others, even though there's a perfectly simple technical solution" is narrow minded. And it's been very long since I've seen an "enterprise" that didn't already have linux deployments. Can you name a few?

"going to your manager and asking to fire up a linux VM in a Microsoft shop will probably get you reprimanded (or laughed at)" Whoa whoa whoa. It's narrow minded to not dance around the narrow mindedness of others? There is certainly a problem that needs solving here, but it's not Redis on windows.

Why should antirez feel compelled to support Microsoft's enterprise customers without compensation at the cost of significant complexity? The incentives are all wrong.
