Don't get me wrong, I love linux but for me it's crippled by software support. Running a game in wine just isn't the same. The reason I point out ease of use and user friendliness is that for 80 percent of users out there they just want it to work. With linux as it is, at some point you HAVE to use terminal. That's just not exceptable for people who are barely able to run a computer by the gui interface (small kids, older generation, non computer saavy people). Until linux detaches itself from the NEED for terminal it just won't be able to compete with MS or Apple (trust me I'm rooting for linux but I'm still waiting for that change). Part of the problem is the linux community. Their so embedded in their ways that they don't want to accept that it's a needed change.
