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.
