Playing "Devil's advocate" for a moment... does "3% of the market" actually
constitute "one of the big three" anymore? Even if it's double - does 6%?

Personally, if I had to rank platforms in order of importance, I'd probably
go: Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris, OSX.... That's not for me - if it were for
me, then I'd go: Windows, Linux, ProjectLookingGlass, and leave it at that.
(PLG is the only thing I've seen in the last 3-4 years that even remotely
excites me in terms of user experience innovation.)

I'm afraid that I'm as guilty as the next developer - the free software that
I've developed only runs on the platforms that I use most - namely Windows
:-(
