Interestingly, Linux is moving to win on several fronts. Economy and debt crisis, in addition to rising Ubuntu-like UI (easy to use, LibreOffice included, etc...) increase the benefits for governments and agencies. That's one front. On another front, Linux clearly being the top platform for software development, it can naturally then be a top OS for game development, and become a top gaming platform itself, typically with SteamOS and Android. At Ubuntu install parties, it's been a pleasure to see older French citizens coming in with already good information, knowledge and know-how of the Linux platform, for some because of their daily job at government agencies. And they want the OS at home! What else ;)
