I recently went to a non-Bitcoin ("entrepreneur") event in Austin and a guy got up and said he was some kind of crypto analyst or something. He claimed to have conclusively proven through text analysis that Adam Back is Satoshi. He seemed somewhat deranged by it though. I'm not sure why he thought it was so important.
Personally, I think Adam Back & Hal Finney are Satoshi. I think some of the early cypherpunks (Szabo, Todd, etc.) at least knew they were working on it too if not contributing in some way.

Early version of bitcoin is on Windows only. Linux was already huge in 2009 ... what kind of cypherpunk would do that ...

I think you are referring to this 3 parts series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kav2K1DVWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMWnaR5uJxQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfcvX0P1b5g But in my opinion: even if (as old bitcoiners) we know who is Satoshi, we should STFU and do not reveal it. Is much better like that and we should just leave it as it is: a disappeared individual/group that let us a great tool to fight the banksters and tyranny.

I agree, Satoshi being absent is great for Bitcoin. I meant this question in a tongue in cheek way. I wouldn't want anyone who actually knows anything to answer this question.
