Who could've thought that the thing Linux was worst for (gaming) would finally conquer Windows...

Upd: why down votes? Am I wrong? My first Desktop Linux was Ubuntu 6.04 in 2006. Back then I could only dream of what we're witnessing nowadays.

Good question. Maybe:

  1. Windows fanbois upset at the suggestion that Windows is starting to lose the game
  2. People in general objecting to the idea that single-digit install numbers is "conquering."
  3. Greybeards upset at a trivial misuse of compute power (games) is evidently more influential than truly worthy uses, like interpreting ctrl-alt-shift-n and running some Lisp to indent some text.
  4. You've made powerful enemies...

I'm just guessing. I have no idea; I upvoted your comment.
