Depends on who you ask. On the desktop it doesn't matter at all
(fortunately, since everytime I work on Solaris I'm entering a world of
pain which is just slowly getting better with OpenSolaris), on the
server it (and other propietary Unices) is losing ground compared to
the free Unices.

But ok, let's say 3 major platforms: Unix, Windows and Mac OS X. Mac OS
X is formally a Unix but everything with GUI is non-Unix'y so it can be
considered a separate platform.
