It looks like the ever-popular Vista may be the impetus which drives game developers towards open platforms. Jonathan Blow, the author of the long-delayed, very original, and kind of quirky indie game "Braid" has decided that, thanks to Vista being so annoying, he is going to develop and release Braid on Ubuntu.
Until now, only relatively unknown developers such as Id Software have bothered to release or develop games on the Linux platform, but now that the more popular indie developers are starting to look at it, the commercial mainstream might not be far behind. Hooray!

Very droll. :-)
Well, IIRC iD developed DOOM and Quake on _NeXTStep_ machines but I don't think that helped you if you were trying to play the games on that platform :)
Up to this day I still use XP Professional. I dont want to upgrade to vista.
