Cuba has reported a 500 percent increase in Linux installation in two years; of course, they can’t really get Windows due to export restrictions.

I think it all depands how the sales person explains the difference between Windows and Linux. :) @Alex

But it will continue to struggle until there's an installed base! Once developers see a base, the gaming situtation will improve. Esp. since it's now very possible to develop apps on a parallel track between Mac OS 10.3x+ and Linux - both have an X11 core and converting apps from one to the other isn't that big a deal. So if the Linux/Mac market share can grow to somewhere close to Window$, gaming on both will improve a lot. All you gamers: true, Linux is struggling there.
