Seems his argument is that Windows, by being propietary and closed source, is more appealing to the "code ninjas" of the demo scene because there are more hidden techniques to be developed and hoarded (kinda like making a fancy app on the iPhone by using undocumented APIs). Linux, by being in the end open source, puts all that in the open, and that is for said "ninjas" boring. Demo scene and game cracking is after all joined at the hip. Both of them spring out of bored kids with massive amounts of time to stare at decompiled binaries.
