Do you think gaming is one of the reasons why Windows will be number 1 for a long time?

Yes since it is super easy to install games in Windows, and a Windows computer cost less then a Mac and it is easy to buy RAM, Video cards, Hard Drives and joystiqs for Windows devices.
Mac has some good games, but they cost a lot.
Most of the games for Linux. I played or seen look pretty old and not as fun as games for Windows.

What most people don't know about is Wine, it is a windows virtualizer for Linux.

Not all of it is, but quite a bit will work.
Windows is just a virtual household name. everyone knows about it. I think it's just their advertising, and that fact is has Microsoft on tjhe name.
But, i do love their games selection ... Internet spades FTW!!!!

I don't think games is why Windows will remain number 1 for years to come.
As you see Linux And Mac both have transgaming on their side to play windows games 100%.
Not only that Linux and Mac both have their own games aswell.
Windows will remain number 1 for one reason and it is them being the most well known company.
I mean what pops into peoples head when they hear PC or go into a computer store?
Windows 95% of the time
However I can say even with what I just said,if microsoft don't start getting a good OS out there they will fail.
Then Mac Or Linux will take over.
I mean look what happened with vista due to vista Linux got a confirmed 1% market share and an unconfirmed 2-4% marketshare on the desktop market.
So if Windows/Microsoft losses number 1 it will only be their fault.

It is a shame that more people would not give Ubantu, and other linux distros a try since it is easy to install, and use.
Possibly, the 3rd world might look at linux more seriously since it is free, and open source.
