Yeah there's 3% reported, but what do you think that 3% unknown is? Am I supposed to believe it's all Windows users spoofing their user agent?

I spoof my user agent on Linux and appears as a Windows user to websites. So I'm actually contributing to the Windows stat.

That would be cool but also will defeat the purpose of not standing out

No most likely Linux users too. BDS and others
