It irks me a little that Linux people refuse to consider porting their

Isn't it the case that Cygwin is no help if the program has a GUI.
Yes, if you have a GUI that is not built around a cross-platform
library.
Even though I hate windows and don't use it, I still always try to
accommodate Windows users and of course I like the Mac platform (it is
Unix based) and try to support it too.
There are cross-platform ways to accommodate GUI's, but that's not much
help if your program has already been developed. For the same basic
reason I avoid ASP or any proprietary solution to anything if I can
avoid it. One of my clients uses ASP and I convinced them to move to
PHP in their web stuff - we are trying to converge to open standards and
want the flexibility to be able to run on ANYTHING, especially not being
tied down to things that require expensive proprietary solutions.
