Umm...Most of the "big" hardware tools started out in the UNIX
world. All the EDA software, FPGA design software, simulation
software, etc etc...all got their start in the UNIX world, and many
of them aren't even available for Windows, and aren't ever likely to
be. Those vendors are porting to Linux, but not to Windows, as is
not taken seriously for things like chip design or "large-scale"
electronic design. (that said, I find it surprising that Linux IS
being taken seriously in that world, but who am I to argue..)
