No, I think you're largely correct. By and large "doing things with  
OSM data" is an industry in its early stages and, for now, most of the  
hackers playing around with it are using Unix-like systems.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Export is a helpful overview  
of how to get OSM data into other formats.
