Although I understand your point, this is debatable to the point of a pointless point :P. The reason it seems like the most popular is that the only way to get the windows version is to download it from .Org/EDB. Linux/FreeBSD already has it in their own repositories. I do believe that we need to support windows, but not everything will. That is just the nature of it. Joshua D.
