Windows is Mozilla's red headed step child. Despite all the attention it has elsewhere, they can't be bothered being a parent.

It's just very sad, because 94,8% of users are using Windows platform... ](*,)
Only 5,1% are MacOS users and 0,1% are Linux users. :-"

And 76.3% of statistics are made up on the spot ;)

I'm on Linux, and for me, it's rather slow, too.

But not this one, as it's data from telemetry. :P

Cannot agree on that. despite Mozilla being open source Windows as platform is way more important for them then Linux for example. Even in their release engeneering they call linux "tier 2" with Windows "tier 1". Another examples - they still have hardware acceleration compositor disabled by default. OMTC was enabled for Linux way later then on Windows and so on. There is a lot other examples of various features available only for Windows. maybe MacOS, but not Linux.
In Mozilla they say about various bugs on Linux itself preventing them to implement that ant this, but its doesnt seem to bother them to do something about this.
Like hardware video acceleration. They say "they cannot use it on Linux due bugs". Fine, but why MPV can use it then? VDPAU, VAAPI - its all works. Even more, it was posible to use via GStreamer, but they was sooo smart so they removed GStreamer support.
WebSpeech component they work on is totally unusable on Linux because they doent bothered to actually get it really working and so on so on.
And there is a LOT more.
So no, Linux is Mozilla's bastard child, not Windows. Oh yes, Android made Mozilla to work on Linux little more, sure, but Android support is now WAY better then Linux too.

1) No, its should not be.
2) They not yet build Servo for Windows. Probably by a reason - its currently ultra-raw and absolutely not ready for any tech preview. Maybe they just dont want windows folks to test it yet.

1) They have some problems with compiling Rust (which on Servo based) in latest version of Rust compiler on Windows considering recent Bugzilla bugs. They dont have such problem with linux rust compiler. Its solvable, just need little time.
2) Servo is not ready for any serious browsing. Oh yeah, its more or less render Wikipedia fine, but on, say, Humblebundle.com is total mess, some site doent render at all, its have problem with non-latin symbols, its doesnt like any kind of redirects and so on so on. Literally TONS of bugs (yes, its alpha i know).
Yeah, it was quite interesting to look, but hell no, its not ready.
