I started using the GIMP when Tor Lillqvist's first Windows ports appeared, and have used it on Microsoft platforms ever since. These days I don't use any Microsoft products - they finally became completely obsolete in every context that matters to me - but I do know several people who use the GIMP on Windows 7 and 10. Considering the huge Microsoft user base, I would be surprised if GIMP users on Microsoft platforms don't outnumber users on Linux platforms by a substantial margin - but as per messages above, that's very hard to determine. We have a large majority of Linux users posting on the list here, but that is most likely due to the strong connection between Linux and technical education / computer literacy. "Geeks" use mailing lists like this one, most others don't suspect they exist. :o) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
