Maybe because the UNIX platform is a much better development platform,
supports pre-emptive multitasking (and has done for years), comes with
networking support, makes well written software easy to port to other UNIX
platforms (including Linux) and is widely used in the Internet to support
large HTTP and gopher servers (which is what this is all about).  Just a
few thoughts...
