for a gamecon that's no big surprise really ... gaming is pretty much a windows world still. there are linux games, but the coverage isn't near complete so if you are REALLY into the gaming scene it's usually a windows pc or a game console for you =/ it's a hard market for linux to break into, too, due to the small % of the home market we have versus the amount of $ involved in maintaining a linux port and the investment it takes to put together a quality game. what's even sadder is that apparently a number of openGL games are actually developed on linux but then ship as windows-only. huzzah. one day, though ;) > maybe next year.. if the endmonton lug doesn't do something.. maybe me > and a few others from the calgary lug can put up a booth... bah.. all they have booths at this gamecon? what sort of booths and how popular are they (e.g. are they mostly ignored or are they pretty busy)? what was the attendance like this year? -- Aaron J.
