Lol, you totally asked for it

Don't start an argument unless you have at least some data to back it up.

Or simply don't troll or cause flame wars using an account that you care about

even windows has its uses, and for most people, windows is good enough.
by dismissing the windows operating system entirely, you are missing out on an important chunk of the market, and even for open source games this is a bad idea (the more people play your game, the more feedback you will get to improve it, for one thing).

that said, as a long time linux user, i feel that linux needs no 'fanbois', and certainly does not need anyone trying to 'convert' the masses. linux is not for everyone, and those who would benefit from using linux will come on their own, they need no annoying ADD patient to show them the way.

Id liked to echo armens comments... and currently.. windows users ARE the mass market... like it or not... that is the way it is... and a wise marketer isnt going to dismiss the largest portion of the market because he doesnt like the bus driver
