I have used Linux for around 6 months (SuSE 9.1 currently) and I see
one large reason why Linux is not a good OS for everyone, and I see
also why People still use Windows. There is ONE thing that Windows has
that Linux does not: High-End games. I understand that linux is much
more secure, and can recover more easily from some problems. But as far
as most Windows users, Including myself, are concerned, games make the
system. I dual-boot with Winxp and SuSE, and I wouldn't have to if
there was faster development with X11 and better 3D acceleration. If
these conditions were met, Linux would be viewed as a vialble OS to
deploy games on, and I'm quite sure most large game companies (except
Microsoft, of course) would start deploying games for Linux.
