One of my professors used it for demonstrating things from his laptop in lecture. Other professors use Emacs, and use Windows for some things (frequently their laptops run Windows). The real question here is what to do to convince them to stop using Windows and run GNU/Linux instead. We can speculate that running Emacs on Windows leads some people to switch to GNU/Linux. But imagined migration is not our goal; what we need is for them to migrate in reality.
