Windows, because I can throw together a simple app in a day, and know that almost anybody in the world is going to be able to use it.

Example: in one day, I made a SQL database of lists of words, a program using mci to record and trim audio, LAME to encode it to .mp3, and presto! After one day's work (well, okay final version took 2 or 3), I had a full set of phonics resources on my homepage, and an app that I could install straight off my homepage and let teachers run on our work computers to record even more words.

This would simply not be possible in any other environment.


My #2 would be Android, because it's so ubiquitous, but that's not one of the choices for this thread.
