Do you really think that is worth the cost in time and money for one game ?

Like anyone here I've known Windows too, and this is something I don't want to be pulled through anymore. Unlike you, I don't judge the other OS users. If you find Windows fine, like I did too for many years, I'm okay with that and it's only a matter of taste.

And you dare try to teach me awareness...

I think you misunderstand my point, I actually run linux on 2 of my main machines out of choice, regularly use OSX but my main rig is Windows7. The point I was trying to make is that you should use whichever OS you prefer for a particular task. Obviously when a particular piece of software will only run on a windows platform then you'll be forced down that route.

Saying you will avoid a hotly anticipated game just because you have a seemingly irrational dislike of the OS it has to run on seems a little closed minded to me.

And yes you'll need to buy a license and perhaps a new hdd to store it on, but many people will be building whole new machines just to play SOW on.

If you really have something against windows, I wouldn't be arrogant enough to presume to try and persuade you to change but windows has changed a lot over the years and if you're not familiar with Windows7 it really is a big improvement over the past. I really treat it as a gaming OS as I prefer to run Linux as my desktop.

If you are remotely into gaming you need Windows7, that's pretty much fact.
