I'm so tired of Gabes nonsence about Linux being the future...

He pretty much spent all last and this year taking dumps on Windows 8 primarily because it includes a built-in app store and gaming hub that might threaten his own gaming service.

Well guess what Gabe? Windows 8 games so far have been a joke and you don't have to worry about that...

Gabe does have to worry about Windows 8 being a success though as it has by far outperformed Newell's expectations, with more than 110 million active users now. Also it has outperformed his expectations on his own service - Steam's usage statistics list the 64-bit version of Windows 8 is now the second-most-often-used OS with 14 percent usage share, compared with 2.15 percent for Mac and 0.10 for Linux.

Good luck convincing anyone that 0.1% of your own service's market share is the future Gabe.

Wow, great info.  I know he is always spouting off about going to Linux, but had no idea that the numbers were so low even on steam!

Just click on the OS version to see the Steam usage stats - http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

Win 8 combined is almost 15%.

I dont he is talking about PC linux, most likely steambox. Again, gabe newell > your knowledge.

Looking at the quality of your posts and arguments here it's pretty safe to say that:

my knowledge > your knowledge

I'd be glad to take a test to prove it actually. 

This is laughable considering you didn;t even to really read what newell said, and jumped on it because he GASP, sadi something against an MS p[roduct.. GAme knowoedge > yours and Mine > yours, considering how you don't even read nor fully understand topics before jumping in.
