I'd agree, personally.  I believe he's thinking of it in the desktop sense,
not in the server sense.

Now personally, I can use either M$ or X11 as a desktop.  I prefer X11, but
there are honestly more apps for M$.  Stability is also an issue--there may
be 10 different IM clients for X11, but only 2-3 of them are stable and
near production quality, for instance.  The -last- time I tried GAIM on
Win95, it crashed and took Win95 -with- it.  That didn't speak very well
for either the program or the port--I'm not sure which was at fault.
