Sure the official install image is still windows but as there are also well-supplrted alternatives it is easy to try Linux instead.
Sorry, but hopefully pichlo is bizzy voting so I can step in here. Not on his behalf but as an innocent bystander. While it might happen that a few project here and there using Linux in some way I can't imagine it's a majority that goes even semi Linux. Or do you count virtual box with Linux. Linux? Or even Cygwin ?

Do you think windows lose its top position within, let's say 10 years?
