does anyone even have linux?

Yeah, I've been running Ubuntu for a few months now.

On my old system, I dual-booted SuSE and XP.

Currently I run Windows 7 with an Ubuntu VM via Virtual Box.

And what is the benefit of this?...I'm curious.

Well then I might actually get into Linux now, as gaming really was the only thing that was stopping me.

I feel that Microsoft was somewhat shortsighted in its abandonment of the PC gaming community in favor of focusing on its Xbox division. With Valve and Blizzard actively pushing gaming on Mac, and Valve now even pursuing Linux, one of the chief reasons to stick with Windows is disappearing.

One of the main reasons to use Windows over Linux on a desktop is now gone. All that's left really is better flash and hardware support, though the sound engine is still a bit of a mess.

The definitely need to make sure enough content is on Steam to make it worthwhile though.
