I may sound crazy, but I hope they continue their abandonment of PC gaming because it's left a hole open for Mac and Linux to get into the fight.  How many people keep windows around solely because of gaming? Windows security is a joke, it runs painfully slow, it's a resource hog -- there's so many ways Windows is inferior to Mac and Linux and Windows ONLY advantage over them is that Windows is where 99% of the games are. 

Mac is now on Steam, and while the games are relatively few that number is going to go up.  Steam is the only viable PC gaming platform at this point and now that Mac has their foot in the door this is huge.

Ubuntu Linux is incredibly easy to use and getting easier all the time, and to top it all off its free.  To make matters worse for MS, Linux is growing  if in no other way at least general interest and awareness. If it ends up getting Steam support and games start moving over, performance whores are going to quickly find out that Linux's incredibly low overhead means you can get a shit load more performance out of your system. 

If they don't pull their collective head out of their collective ass when they finally do come out of their shit cave they're going to find themselves in a world of hurt.

I hate ot break it to you, but Mac and Linux security is far far FAR worse than WIndows security has been for the past 5 years. You can crack open a Linux or a Mac machine in minutes, and the best part is that the hole will not be fixed for months so you can fuck anyone you want for a while. In fact, Mac is far worse than Windows in every way imaginable, it's less open, works with less software, and also costss more. There are absolutely NO benefits of a Mac other than it looking pretty, which you can make windows do as well if you know what you are doing.

As for Ubuntu Linux, it is not even close to being easy to use. I know my way aroud it excellently, and it took me 10 minutes to install a program which is not in the package manager. In fact if I didn't know how to program and know how shit works there is absolutely 0 chance I would have figured it out.

So please stop spreading outright lies, because that i exactly what they are.
