Hi, no offense but your post comes to me like overly-biased 
flamebait. As a Windows user, my experience is quite opposite - 
most D users and developers are not using Windows, so Windows 
support was lagging behind in many instances. x64 came to Windows 
last. The Windows compiler is up to twice as slow than the Linux 
compiler (because it's compiled with DMC). The coverage of the OS 
API in the standard library/Druntime is underwhelming. GDC and 
LDC are starting to officially support Windows only just now.

In contrast, deploying my D software on Linux servers is quite 
painless and straight-forward.

Saying that D is neglecting Linux is an outright fabrication.
