I think the OpenPandora project has confirmed the OMAP5's availability and has samples.

Except for TI is kinda 'checked out' of the Linux support business sadly.
Are they expecting their SoCs to run Windows instead?
No. They seem to be focusing more on the RTOSes, like VxWorks and QNX. There's more to OSes than just Linux and Windows.
What Sanddancer said, they are investing in their Tiva (aka Cortex M series) parts and de-emphasizing the OMAP line. (they may have said the OMAP5 is the last of that series) I don't think they felt they were offering a lot of value over the other Cortex A9 vendors.
