Microsoft is too far ahead in market shares, it has become THE standard. Only a major catastrophe with Microsoft, a total security desaster, a brakedown of computer nets around the globe, some very serious events that leaves MS seriously hurt, could change the situation substantially.

it isnt about one point and you can get any game for linux too. its about that there are several games coming and taking some time, more and more are out. as the game engines are platform independent, its easy possible to bring out games on different platforms, like pc (win, mac, lin) and consoles (xbox, playstation). for example from

windows isnt the only big player in game market, there is also the playstation.
i hope the simulation fraction is also going to switch to platform independent. wait the usa is on that way too.
