Comment (by Valdar):

 My point of view is that it's acceptable for them because I'm not paying
 them for the software.  "It's a windows problem" means "stop using gaim,
 install Miranda-IM".  They lose one user/advocate.  Miranda is installed
 and I'm happily hard rebooting 200 times a day with no data loss now. :-)

 However, if I paid money for gaim, then I would be pretty pissed.

 This highlights a problem with open source in general and contributes to
 why it will never overtake commercial software, so I think you have a
 valid point in that argument.
