I was kind of right:

I'll be the one to say it:

Consider all those who got gassed up on the cyclical $NEW_WINDOWS bad streak who tried out Linux on their gaming computers, only to feel overwhelmed or burned or whatever by the differences (of which newbies will always make mountains out of mole hills) who then promptly return to the familiarity of Windows.

I suspect we'll see another small decrease next month too.

A group of people who wouldn't be able to articulate what an operating system is attempt to legislate an anti-feature into operating systems.

I'm gonna just keep saying it:

BURST BURST BURST!!! LETS HAVE A BURST PARTY!
This will likely be the new landscape indefinitely. Gaming and client devices will have to battle for scraps as they get pushed out to far orbit from the interests of industry. I think we are entering a period of time where innovation in software is going to define successes in gaming and in end user devices.
