Not really. It *only* has *two* articles so far:-
1) External antenna connector on a EEEPC900
http://wiki.portertech.org/doku.php?id=eeepc900-ext-antenna
2) WiFi bridge link testing
http://wiki.portertech.org/doku.php?id=testing-wifi-bridge
Neither article is about Linux any more than it is about Windows.
Have you actually seen them ?
Even if my site *was* about Linux, 60% of the visitors are Windows users,
what does that tell you ?

That's a lot of people not working as they should...

Even so, that only makes Windows *twice* as common as Linux according my
stats.

indeed listen to. Trolls are not among those people, as trolls, more or
less by definition, *promote* ignorance.
