None of the above are really contradictory.
- By my "students," I meant my graduate students, e.g., Je77 is 
mostly a UNIX person, Lex is entirely a Linux user, Joshua is mostly 
a Linux user.  Bolot is our sole Windows maven.  The Macs I keep 
putting in the lab collect dust in the corners...
- My undergraduate students (http://coweb.cc.gatech.edu/cs2340) are 
mostly Windows users (like most of the universe), but with a very 
vocal *nix minority.
- People on this list are a majority, but are probably not the 
complete Squeak-using universe.  My guess is that Squeakers NOT on 
this list are probably heavily Windows users, as the majority of 
computer users are.  Those on the list probably tend toward 
non-traditional approaches, so there are more Mac and *nix people 
here than in the general computing public.
