The only part of PLUM that requires Windows is the IDE, if I recall correctly. The generated application runs on any CF server. The vast majority of CF developers run Windows desktops - despite the popularity of OSX among developers now, I seriously doubt that more than one out of, say, every five hundred CF developers runs something other than Windows. It's worth pointing out that the membership of this list isn't necessarily representative of CF users in general - I suspect that the percentage of non-Windows users is higher here than elsewhere. My evidence for this is purely anecdotal, but I've met a lot of CF developers, most of whom are not readers of this list.
