In my opinion this would be the wrong solution to a very real problem...
Reality is that Windows is probably the OS used by the largest
fraction of the Inkscape userbase. At the same time it is not the
OS with the best support (probably far from it) as you noted.
I dislike the idea that as a result we start telling people to
choose Ubuntu because they'll probably have less problems. Instead
we should aim at improving support for Windows, so that Inkscape
is actually usable equally well on all supported operating
systems!
To be honest this whole idea sounds a bit like the disclaimer that
was very popular on webpages ("Optimized for a resolution of X
times Y pixels") which was just a lame way of telling people that
the website was badly designed to start with. I don't think that
we want that for Inkscape...

I'm mentioning this in inkscape since it's an interesting idea executed by a company rather than a free software project: http://store.steampowered.com/about/ Take a look at the bottom, where it says: "Ubuntu is our favorite version of Linux. Interested in giving it a whirl? You can install and run Ubuntu from a Live CD or USB stick, or install it to run alongside Windows. Grab an Ubuntu installer from Canonical and see what it’s all about." That's really interesting from our perspective, because our website never recommends using a free software desktop, or linking to ubuntu's website. Are we too cautious about recommending something like Ubuntu along side using Inkscape? Should we say that linux is the platform with the most support and Ubuntu is probably the one you should try first. Or are we happy with the no-opinion presentation we have currently? Is it false balance to present ourselves as if all desktops are equal to us? Anyway, I'm just mulling this over. Best Regards, Martin Owens
