    They paused Linux and Mac OS development to focus on Windows because that's where the MAJORITY of PC users are. Once they have that end of it all nice and tight and made some money, then they can look at finishing the Linux and Mac support. If you want to come back with "oh, they have Facebook's billions", that's not true. Facebook isn't stupid and they won't blindly pump cash into a subsidiary (remember, they weren't absorbed, they still operate as an independent entity) without a plan to profitability. Getting up, running and selling on Windows ASAP is the best plan for that.
