Of course, if I ever get a PeeCee, Linux is what I'd go for...
BUT, there are a lot of poeple out there who like playing games.

Name 5 games that're available for those OSes?
+ one hell of a lot of software companies only support Microsloth OSes.

HENCE. Monopoly.

Angband, Moria, Nethack, Doom, Xasteroids...
