I noticed that 2 secs after clicking the submit button. I thought, well the average person can understand it's a common mistake, but i guess you are just bellow the average.
Most competitions these days provide you with a variety of IDEs on different platforms
On this year's IOI there you could chose between Linux and Windows, most people use Linux, because the grading system will use Linux+gcc/fpc/javac to compile your program and test it automatically.
Anyway, you don't need an IDE for these contests, a text editor such as VIM or EMACS (ok, this is more like an IDE) will sufice.
Actually rules changed, you can only bring a 20-page thingie now, and you have to send it to them, so that they can print it and give it to you on the competition day.
Competitive programming can be addicting, I started on highschool just for fun on a small local contest, then me and my mate moved to the national olympiads, we were there just for the fun of it, but i actually got a good place.
Then it started to get addicting, we were participating on every kind of contest, i won the national olympiad that year and therefore went to the International Olympiads in Informatics. This year i went to the IOI again.
Just a word of wisdom, do _NOT_ get carried away by these contestes, they are good for fun but if you get addicted, they can even harm your studies.
Guess what,Symantec has been offering this for a while now, and there are others, even some free ones.
Just Google for them and you'll see what i'm talking about.
Where does the source data come from?
I mean, it's very hard to make such statistics and I still have doubts that Microsoft servers caught up with Unix servers.

Yes, Solaris has prooved trustworthy on the last few months. (ironic look)
I think it goes after the International Olympiads, which comes from the International Maths' Olympiads.
No hard feelings, i hope you get better.
