> Now, it's completely anecdotal and recalled from memory, but the reactions of Windows-based developers to "doesn't compile on Linux" was generally "OK, I'll try to take a look", This is just my prejudice, I haven't actually checked, but I think most projects that have support for both Linux (or Unix-y OSes) and Windows generally start with Linux/Unix and then have Windows support added. I think the opposite is rare. Maybe things changed? I think most Windows developers say 10 or 15 years ago might not even know what Linux is, or have heard the word as some obscure technology used by few. In other words, I would have expected a Windows developer to respond to "doesn't compile on Linux" the same as they would for e.g. "doesn't compile on Plan 9", or whatever is still very obscure relative to Windows nowadays.
