When you spent time tinkering on your linux box, at least you usually learn some piece of knowledge that can be applied later on.
When you tinker and debug something on windows, you usually have little idea of what went wrong and can derive very little from the experience. At least that was the case back when I still used windows, in the XP and vista days.
That PowerPoint Prez at the end of the review hit me hard. I have this game pre ordered because I love Mothership and Nausicaa, but I didn't get deep into the PDFs because I much prefer reading my RPGs on paper. This might make me run this game next, as soon as me and my players get tired of the scifi horror tropes.
