(Hey - Feel free to "argue with the numbers" I noted above (as far as what is the most used Operating System platform there is, bar-none, on the MOST USED HARDWARE PLATFORM THERE IS for Personal computing, bar-none))...
Anyhow... The fact is, there is more 'surface area' for employment by using Windows, because it is the most used OS there is on the most used hardware platform there is for personal computing (up to servers) IS just a fact!
(& it extends from home/end users to those on client nodes on LANs/WANs, thru departmental servers, all the way up to "mission critical" enterprise-class scenarios (such as NASDAQ, where Windows Server 2003 runs literally somewhere very nearly approaching the 99.999%/"fabled 5-9's" levels of uptime rated in fact, as the officlal disseminator of trade data in fact FROM NASDAQ))
(As well as Windows' wealth of surrounding peripheral softwares base (of which there is ALSO MORE OF vs. other OS platforms also - especially considering the home-user/end-user base (gaming, as a SINGLE example, anyone? That's just for starters too, & there alone it is MILES above the others in terms of choices)).

Well, ok - I won't consider it an argument: I'll consider it enlightening you is all! That is, in case you weren't aware of the basic & commonly accepted facts from above I stated.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, didn't YOU, state this verbatim?

Moving back are we? Why is that?? Finding out that doing things on Windows sometimes has NO comparable & equally useable alternates on others platforms??? Honestly, I have seen that SO many times, it is unreal (inclusive of myself no less - the closest I came to switching was Os/2 2.1- 3.0 Warp back during Win3.x/DOS days circa 1993-1995)... why'd I come back??
For the reasons I just stated!
APK
P.S.=> I found out there was SO MUCH MORE SOFTWARE for Windows vs. others & of better/higher quality (purely a relative term there though), I had to come back... apk
