Sorry, but this sounds pretty rude.  If you have a grudge, do
something about it and stop whining about our support for tons of *nix
platforms instead of Windows.  For the most part, the reason *nix
platform support is more popular is because that's what most of us use
on a daily basis.

Keep in mind this is an open source project and a lot of us have more
important things to work on than simple porting.  It's easy to
criticize, it's much harder to do the actual work.
