Again, your argument would only be valid if there weren't 500 coin blocks being emitted at that time, then being drastically cut shortly after a large amount of coins have been mined. The hash rate thrown at the coin at that time with no clear future goals, along with it only being minable on linux(which hardly anyone uses), clearly shows an intended instamine by the developers(evan).

If one takes out the part of "along with it only being minable on linux(which hardly anyone uses)" I am in agreement with you.

I know wikipedia isn't usually that credible unless they list sources. But I did a quick google search and found here. Even if the statistics arent errors free, windows is still far more widely used than linux.
