And convince comes with extra baggage ...so more load on the machine and hence slower. Besides its easier for a new user to learn Windows than Linux. The user base of Linux is comparatively low and are used by a more knowledgeable user base, so I dont know whether these stats paint a right picture.

Modern games require the latest hardware, (a recent) Windows itself requires the latest hardware. Linux doesn't, but I don't think many Linux systems are used for mainstream gaming I'm pretty sure gamers are a large group of computer users, so this news doesn't surprise me a whole lot. Correct me if I'm wrong. If you’re a gamer, you’re likely a Windows user, because although I wish it was different, most mainstream developers only cater to Windows users.

We should share the serious issues as well rather than just the new product. I agree what you are trying to say. This is really a serious thing. Can't we recycle these things, they should find the way to do that. What a post, This is a nice topic, I don’t know why people didn’t reply to this post.

It is much faster than my Dual Core windows xp machine. For me, I do not see anything less than another 3 years for the P 3 with Linux.

Vista. But I wouldn't claim that to be any achievement for Linux... I think its true that the hardware requirement for Linux hasn’t grown as much as with Windows esp. Vista.
