you can't do that

there are still a big bunch of people using Windows out there
so even if your config of choice is Linux, OS X, whatever non-windows
you will still have to use Windows for support/test/debug/etc.

last exemple:
I'm on OS X, test mostly the stuff for Win XP
I hate Vista
but I still have to support Vista and run it because people do use it

and even if the market was totally reversed
90% of people using Linux and <5% using Windows
I would still support Windows

just to be fair to the times where winning Linux user were
complaining because their OS were not supported

as a developer, whatever are your personnal choices, OS religion, etc.
you have to support multi-OS, multi-browsers, multi-languages, etc.

it's not just about you, it's about the others supposed to use your app
