Like I said, get over it. If you don't want to write your own games then complain to the game vendors to write games for Linux. Installing and playing games doesn't have to be difficult as witnessed by Unreal Tournament.
As far as your comment about being to more countries and making more money, I don't see how that relates to this thread in the least. And although entirely possible, I seriously doubt that you have been to more countries than I and make more money than I. Let's see, countries I have been to:
USA
Canada
Germany
Luxembourg
France
Italy
Spain
Switzerland
Sweden
Denmark
Norway
Saudi Arabia
Holland
Austria
England
Belgium
Iceland
Liechtenstein
And I know there are a couple more that I am not thinking of...
As far as money, well at $150/hr you figure it out.

I've installed Quake III on Linux and it took a whole afternoon to get it to work. On an MS operating system it took about 5 minutes.

I'm a windows fan myself, but please, why did it take you a whole afternoon to install quake 3 on linux? I'm a Linux n00b and it took me less than half an hour to set up winex and install Warcraft 3 which is a windows game! Quake 3 must've taken me 1.6 minutes to install...
I don't think these guys are saying that all gamers are stupid. All they're saying is that anyone who would spend 1500 bucks on a glorified gaming console and then another 150-300 bucks on Windows XP just so they can play some k3wl new windows-only game and nothing more is, to put it bluntly, a moron. Most of the people here think that games should not be the deciding factor on what kind of operating system to use. There are so many wonderful things computers can do besides run counter-strike and the latest Quake ripoff. Personally I can play most of my favorate games like WC3, UnrealTourney2003, the Quake games, and plenty of others on either Linux or Windows.

Holy Sh1T,
I tell you I agree with most of what you say but then I myself get bashed by you for not agreeing that computer users should not play games!
Blow me sideways! Your attitude is why Unix/Linux will never be anything more than a toy for computer Geeks. Your average user does not have the time or patience to learn anything more than click and point. XP is the easiest thing to install on the planet and it makes networking pretty friggin easy as well. I know most of you enjoy feeling elite and pompus being able to install red hat or free bsd on your P166 and coding your own "when to wipe your a$$" schedule but the other 99% of the population just wants something easy to use.
I came here agreeing with everything you had to say other than your attitude towards gamers but I leave thinking you are all just a bunch of assholes!

God Damn this guy is funny! Dear doublefresh, why are you bothering to censor out words like shit and ass which posting on a forum on fuckmicrosoft.com. First off, XP is not the easiest thing on the planet to install, Mandrake Linux 9.0 beats it out cleanly. I'm a gamer too. I love games. WC3 is my favorite PC game. It works well on linux with wine. In fact, any PC game that dosn't work with the latest version of wine will likely work with the next version. I can wait until then. Even though I am an impatient SOB, waiting it out won't be so hard because I own a PS2. Granted, $ony is nearly as evil as M$, but hey they have great games, more than I could ever even want (I will never buy from $ony again, from now on its Nintendo only. GB advance rocks). Linux is already alot more than a toy for geeks. It is the best server available. It dosn't crash. Great for business, and great for games. Games would mostly be made for linux if it were not for M$'s illegal marketing tactics.
