I think the one point you are missing is many people on this list do 
not have any reason for having any Windows software.  Why would I 
purchase a Windows program with I do not have or use any Windows 
machines?  This leads to the issue of why pay for a Linux program that 
does not have any support.  In order to try the Linux product, I must 
purchase a Windows product.  It isn't free to me in any way.

If I purchased the Windows version to get the Linux version, does the 
license allow me to sell the useless Windows version and still use the 
Linux version?  I really doubt it.
