I can confirm that it's a simple fact that most hardware development is on 
Solaris, or, increasingly, Linux.  Anyone who seriously thinks otherwise 
should work in the same office as a bunch of chip designers for a year or so.

P.S. Seriously.  They all had Windows boxes on their desks, but they'd use VNC 
to run the Cadence IC development tools on a bunch of souped up Solaris and 
Linux servers sitting at one end of the office...
