Voting tendencies pretty soon stabalised on this poll, so I decided to 
call it in.

Very interesting results. KiCAD is developed on Posix like platforms 
using OSS toolchains, and yet just over 50% of users actually use it on 
windows. This is testimony to the quality of KiCAD, as OSS EDA tools 
devolped specificaly for windows only are available. The result also 
clearly demonstrates that it is not being used just because it runs on 
Linux.

It also shows that most non windows users are using KiCAD on 32 bit 
Linux platforms, but people **are** using it on other posix like 
variants such as OSX.

I think KiCAD can consider itself a true multi-platform software package 
and not just software that **may** be run on another platform if you 
really insist.

There is no logical follow up to this poll, but perhaps I will run it 
again in a couple of years to see how (or if) things have changed ;-)

Cheers,

Roger.
