What about Mac?
At Sigasi, we had a similar enquiry two years ago. Solaris and HPUX got nearly no votes. The Windows/Linux balance was about the same as we see in this poll. But to our great surprise, there were over 10% Mac users!
I have to add that the question was somewhere along the lines of: "What would be your favorite platform." Of couse nobody uses a Mac-only flow today because there are far to few tools ported to Mac.

i donno why still use Windows
When Windows eat up all your system memory for its own graphics then how can you still use for FPGA.
And i never saw 64 bit stable windows where i can run memory intense and high end FPGA implementations.
check the comparisons of windows to linux processings before installing /using xilinx sofftware.
