That could serious come back to bite them in the hiney.....Open source software is really becoming attractive to more than just the geek crowd as companies are tired of M$ security issues and pricing.

If the game making companies would make their games playable on linux you would see microsoft take a hugh hit.

might be a big reason WHY you don't see gaming companies making more of an effort to support alternate OS's......not like it would be the first time someone has gotten their pockets padded to help snuff out competition.

This is true. Microsoft should have a 666 as their company logo.

Amen. If there were a good, flexible linux distro out there that could play all of my games and let me do everything that I want to do I would never buy another M$ product in my whole life. M$ is becoming a software monster than a giant and someone needs to put a stop to it.
