As a longtime hardcore pc gamer I (and many others on this list im sure) will forever be binded to windows on our desktops. All the money that people like me pour into our gaming rigs leads us to desire the best experience that our hardware can deliver... and hopefully in the future linux will be able to acomplish that. Probably not in my gaming lifetime unfortunitly. This is of course is why i spent some money and picked up a good laptop from which i an run all of my linux operations from. I am proud to say that my fileserver is a slack 7.1 machine. Punch Wazoo
