Bitcoin was originally a Windows only program. We used Wine to run it on Mac/Linux in the early days:

I used to be a Wine developer so it didn't put me off when I first found the project, but I'm sure the fact that it was Windows only hurt the projects uptake in the first year. It wasn't until Bitcoin 0.2 that a Linux version was available.

If it helps, Satoshi was also an Outlook user ;)
