there is actually a reason behind this, that makes sense.

There are a whole lot more people using windows than linux/unix. And of
those people, there are a far greater majority of them that don't know much
about computers, let alone their operating system. So if you want to
exploit a greter number of people with your program, you create it for
windows. That way, you have a better chance of hitting more people.

Just my two cents.....
