I use all 3 OS's depending on where I'm at or what purpose I'm doing. (My office I work at has all danke Mac's since it's a development place, my old POS laptop has Ubuntu on it because it runs better than windows on oldware, and my gaming desktop has Windows because I got tired of dicking around with Wineskins when it was hackintosh.) Only reason I don't own a mac atm is as a university student it's not in my budget, otherwise I'd prefer Mac/Linux as UNIX is pretty much superior to windows in terms of resource usage, and for a lot of tasks on the programming/server administration and what not. (Terminal is bae),

That said I don't think this poll really conveys the value of being multi-platform though. It's a given our current community is going to be almost entirely windows-based, for multiple reasons and cause right now all you can play it on is windows. It's only natural everyone will say Windows.

I think once it's in our stars to move to something that allows us to be multi-platform, it'll always worth it. More players without a doubt. Besides, Nin Online is the kind of casual game that is playable on nearly every computer. If we hypothetically were multi-platform, you wouldn't just be covering Windows from old to new, you'd now run the gamut with nearly any Mac or Linux box that's post 2003. (IIRC that's when Mac made the intel switch?)

Linux is better for servers cause it is more efficient. If it had the marketshare, it would be better for gaming. Mac is UNIX which Linux is inspired off of UNIX. UNIX as an Operating System is far better than DOS. Microsoft is just good at making people forced to use their computer.
