Why not just use Linux?
2 comments

Because some developers would like to make money at some point.
Then why would they make applications for a dying platform? Is there some budding market for native win32 apps that I'm not aware of?
To play devils advocate, Linux does pose some issues as far as a stable platform base. They don't even guarantee glibc compatibility afaik.
