Windows XP is still being used by 10.44 percent of Steam owners and the combined number of Mac Steam owners is currently at 3.72 percent.

Represent!

This is pretty disappointing given that Valve gave away Portal to everyone who downloaded Steam for Mac when it was first announced.  Marketing-wise, they've done a great job in promoting Mac Steam and providing libraries for developers to go cross-platform.  On the other hand, Steam for Mac is still buggy as hell, and the vast majority of new games are still Windows-only.  If Mac support is such an uphill battle, then the Linux market will be hopeless (but I assume they're doing it to pave the way for a Linux-based Steam Box).
