Linux developers, actually.  It's open source.

You can easily have your system dual boot.   No need to worry about
getting on one bus or the other, you can do both!  That way whoever
wins the OS wars, you'll come out ahead.  Personally, I hope that
Windows doesn't die, nor does Linux.  I do hope that they compete,
and that such competition helps them both to become even better.
The more good OS'es there are out there, the better.  (Not that
Windows is exactly a good OS, but with enough work, it could be.)
