it is popular because Windows makes using computers easy for non-technical people; it thus became a popular environment to code for because it has a large user-base.
well, I kind of agreed with your point where Windows makes users' life much easier than if the users are using linux. But there are still several projects that linux developers had such as Linspire (which originally Lindows, and then sued by Microsoft because they're really similar to Windows) that is pretty powerful and easy to use. In fact, it is easier than Windows because they're using this embedded program called Click-N-Install or something like that.

But the bad thing about Linspire is just that you have to pay subscription to use this feature every year. Which I think is not as convenient as windows. I'm thinking if there's a way to urged developers to create .exe kind for Linux environment.

Linspire development is trying to kind of copy the environment that is there in Windows in the Linux based environment.
