PCs don't need windows to be PCs. There are many people that use Linux or MacOS, and besides gaming they can do almost everything a windows PC does. the difference will be the software.

For example, instead of MSOffice you will be "forced" to use a program like OpenOffice that does basically the same and given that it can save your files in a format that MSOffice recognises, you will be able to transfer whatever you do on one program to the other.

And if you want to surfthe web you can use plenty of browsers too (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc.)

Yes as of Jan 2012 many people use Linux and OSX.

Win marketshare was 92% then. OSX was 6%, Linux was 1% and the other 1% was down as other. So many users.

Well, given that some argue that there were 1 billion of PCs by 2008, 1% would still mean 10 million users for a not well known and with 0 marketing OS.

But what does it have to do with the things that can or can not be done with Linux or the chances of Valve using it for its console device?
