I know for a fact that 95%+ of the people that visit this site use windows. I also think you have your numbers very wrong. According to sourceforge stepmania downloads:

Windows: 46,065
linux: 1,682
Mac: 2,490
Uncompiled Source: 1,129

I would consider that more than half windows directX users.

Anyway, enough of this discussion. We need to keep on topic here.
