How many Windows users actually buy software at all aside from games? I think most of the commercial software used legitimately by people is either bundled with their PC or paid for by their companies. Since most games don't run on linux, most linux users don't buy software. Yes, Loki tried to make that work but gamers are very fickle and want the latest and greatest games as soon as they are available on Windows. Without direct support from the game producers and release dates/features comparable to the Windows platform, linux games won't take off. It's a chicken-and-egg problem and it won't change since most serious gamers run Windows as well as linux. I ran Windows for years before I switched to linux and I don't think I bought any software for Windows except for games and antivirus updates. I also have an Android phone and have only bought one app in the year I've had it. I only want a smart phone to do certain things - calls, texts, emails, GPS, maps, etc. - and most of that is handled well enough by Google's built-in apps. There are some free apps I use on a regular basis but most are either non-essential or provided by a web site I use (like Last.fm or Pandora). If the non-essential apps cost money, I wouldn't pay for them because I can live without things like wifi analyzers.
