Yes, Windows is dying, and has been for a long long time now. And I'll 
add one or two "good riddance" while we're at it.

The point to remember, however, is that it still has a long long time 
still to completely die. Windows has been somewhat marginalized as 
development platform in recent years, but it will be along time still 
before it becomes irrelevant for users.

I'm not sure it makes sense for D to ignore this platform, despite its 
bleak future.
