It doesn't matter if the first web server was on *nix, nor that it is
still the primary platform for web development. Linux is *not* the
"native platform for PHP development".
In fact, I would almost bet there is more PHP *development* done on
Windows, even though *deployment* is done on *nix. Windows is, after
all, the predominant system on the desktop (where most development is done).
