These people are going to be predominantly gamers and thus what OS they use is more of the deciding factor as opose to what the OS can do that the others can't
What use is a Ferrari to a farmer if all he is going todo is plow the fields?
I know quite a few people who really like linux BUT were still dual booting for gaming. Once they realised they were spending more time in windows they just left the linux partition to go out of date. Think about it... you are in linux doing shit and decide you want to frag something... reboot and choose windows
hour or so later after fragging you then quit and decide to browse the web, listen to music... Do you reboot to linux for this? no you stay in windows because windows can do it and you might want another game.
THUS if you are into a game at a particular moment your linux partition doesn't get booted.
I get like that when I test the HoN beta client. my linux partition might not get booted for a week until the beta goes to the retail client then back to linux. Likewise if I want to play l4d2 I boot to windows and stay there ( yes WINE exist but come on it aint all that!)
