That's true, but engineers like to be paid for their work. Developing for Windows is simply far more lucrative than developing for Linux.
Have you read Apple: A Romance, Buzz Anderson's recent blog? In it, he says that although it may SEEM appealing to work for a company and earn money, in the end, it tends to hold you back creatively, to the point where you become disenchanted with your position. There are a couple of ex-Vista staffers who will tell you this. And opensource projects allow developers more freedom and creativity in what they can do.

You, my friend, have a lot to learn about developing for corporations and the human psyche.

Additionally, Microsoft has provided a development platform to software developers that is second to none.
Can someone say GTK? Maybe QT?
