It would be really nice if someone could step up and answer that question.

Please let me give you an outline why this is so important to me:

I'm working as a business application developer. In my domain, JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA has become the facto 
standard for the type of development work I'm doing. I need strong magnification to do my work. Until now I 
got the job done with ZoomText, tracking events through the Windows/Java Access Bridge. Recently I got into 
trouble, because I had to work on software that was never designed to be built and run under Windows. This is 
a trend and I'm holding my breath with every contract deal I try to strike.

So, how can we move this forward? The days I could push Linux away (against my will) are gone.

Many thanks in advance!
