   I love Linux dearly and have since its birth.   
   But I cannot really flaw their logic. I do not think that adding Linux to   
   marketing would help.   
      
   I am abit of an irritant in the forums of my favorite games Dominions 3 and   
   Conquest of Elysium 3 because I jump down the throat if people get it   
   wrong. They are not windows/mac games that work on linux, they are linux   
   games that were then ported to windows/mac (developed on Ubuntu). But does   
   harping on that help anything? not really. It just scares or confuses the   
   winnies and mackies.   
      
   Dont beat me up. Like I said I love Linux.   
   But I would say that Linux is still an item for the tech-specs area. Most   
   people do not care, would be confused, or even made nervouse about   
   mentioning it. Those people who consider it important will know anyway so   
   there is no need to put it in big letters with bright colors. It is not   
   quite yet a sales point. So as far as the marketing guys figuring on it, I   
   cant really disagree.
