It should be safe to assume that most windows programs (by how many are running) 
are compiler with MSVC and at $800 to $5000 (and up IIRC) a pop why should 
they do anything to help the competition? Seriously, I suspect that GCC, 
LLVM, etc. are literally irrelevant to how much MS makes off Windows.
