Because I'm essentially (intentionally) ignorant of what's available
for development on Microsoft machine. I have been a professional
C programmer for 14 documentable years (with a few things on the side
before that). I cut my teeth on VAXen (VMS/UNIX) and 68000s
(UNIX/AmigaDOS/embedded systems). I prefer to expend my skull sweat
on what _I_ consider worthwhile.

I'll _use_ Windows (not my first choice, but it is everywhere), but I
don't care to take the plunge to developing on it. I'd rather do something
cool.

If I could get UNIX on my company-provided laptop, I'd go that route.
They didn't ask me what I wanted.
