This means something that has been true since before OS X was invented (circa 1990-ish) that hasn't changed. Wanna game on the puter? Mac ain't it. Mac never been it. Apple actually provides hardware that is gaming able. They don't want to cater to gamers. They could do this easily and sell so many heavy duty desktop towers now. Why won't they? They'd have to UN-propriatary themselves.
No, it doesn't. Linux was always behind OSX on this survey. It only changed very recently, and because these survey results fluctuate from month to month, it wasn't clear that it would remain this way.

wow. that's what i'd call weird computer science. like, we could take that 80's song and get all blinded by computer science. thanks for that. I always thought linux would be ahead. about time the evil was overcome. it's been a huge war. we users of linux have had to suffer. we might not have had to bleed to death, but we didn't spend a premium on a mac and just let everything work, except our games.
