This article details the story of a KDE-loving software engineer who was forced to use Windows for his job. "His only hope was that he knew Qt was cross compatible with Windows Linux and Mac, and there was talk that someday, KDE was to be ported to Windows. So he waited. Well, KDE4 was announced and there was much joy. Betas were released and there was much bitching. KDE4.0.0 was released and there again was much joy (and still a little bitching). More importantly an actual honest to goodness Windows port is released. Here follows that engineer's report."

Granted, I don't know what the author meant by this, but I personally see windows as a dying platform. Not because of it's user base (which is obviously very dominate) but because there is not much interesting happening as far as development of new and cutting edge ideas are concerned. Quite honestly it has become boring and lethargic. Cutting edge has become too risky and they cater more towards maintaining backwards compatibility than towards the cutting edge.
