I totally agree. In particular, Windows users seems to think that everybody 
else is using their platform, much as right-handers seem to unconsciously deny 
the existence of left-handers.

The corollary being that if the announcement doesn't explicitly say otherwise, 
you can assume with about 99% confidence that the touted product is Windoze 
only.
