I programmed for Windows. Now I am currently programming for Linux. With Windows you have MSDN, but that's *all* you've got, outside of that there's books and a sparcity of Windows forums. When programming for anything based on *nix you have the knowledge of the entire progamming community just a few keywords away in google. Thousands of forums, articles, how-tos and manuals. I would make a completetly random guess and say that quality useful info for *nix based operating systems on the internet outweighs Windows by 100/1.
Plus MSDN is not that great anyway, its a pain in the arse to navigate through and the content can be arcane and can really not make much sense. Yes the same problems exists with some of the content in the *nix world but chances are that I can find at least two or three other sources for the information that i'm after.
