I use LyX on OS X. However, I was able to get it added to 350 university lab PCs (Windows) that already had LaTeX on them due to a departmental request.
Now any time I get asked, "How did you make that pdf?" or "You don't use Word? What do you use?", I can say, "Let me show you something interesting....." Besides, it really doesn't matter what fraction of LyX users are using this or that platform. What matters is what fraction of the techies, those people that others turn to for advice. More and more these people use Linux or OS X. Only the hard-core gamers continue to cling to Windows. (And those people who have to use a Windows-only program for professional reasons. They're not clinging to Windows but stuck with it.) My mantra these days is "Do you value your time and security? Then leave Windows behind. Let me tell you about the alternatives..." -- Rich On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 2:42 PM, Ehud Kaplan <ehud.kap...@mssm.edu> wrote: > I use it on Kubuntu 9.04 and on Windows XP.
