> Or Linux which as an OS far surpasses e.g. windows. Linux is a lot cheaper than Windows. More importantly, it's a lot LOT cheaper than most proprietary Unices. And it's freely modifiable. If that makes it "better" for you, have at, I am not going to quibble. If you are talking about Linux as a desktop, rather than server, operating system... there are reasons that Windows users outnumber Linux users on the desktop on the order of about 90 to 1. It's not all because Microsoft is evil. If you use Linux as your primary desktop operating system, I'm happy for you. If you think it's better for you, great. May you go forth and prosper. If you think Linux far surpasses Windows as a desktop operating system in the general case, then you are incredibly delusional and should seek some help.

  Well, Linux is used every day as operating system by millions of end users – on mobile devices. And Linux and the BSDs are getting a lot more love on consoles, too – look at the SteamBox. With 16% of all current generation games being able to run on linux, often (like in the case of the new Batman game) even running better than on Windows (or expected to do so), it is getting more and more towards equality.

      And the studio porting it has NEVER made a single game that was bad – while the windows port, made by a different studio... well, you’ve seen it. And about the 16%: Look at the Steam games catalogue.
