1 - If there was a poll like this before, please say so so I can ask a Mod to close this Poll/Thread.
I didn't find one.

4 -Those "What the hell is linux/no, I have..." options are 2 option in ones, either you don't know what linux is and you're using another OS, or you do know about it and you use another OS. Since they're the same, I made them 2 option in one ... options
5 - If anyone dual boots, chose the OS you use to play TellTale's games on.So, vote for Windows then, the OS you use now is what we're trying to figure out.mightypiratetm wrote: »I used to have Linux with ubuntu but now I have windows 7

Edit: Need to get my holidays straight.....
PS: Why did you migrated from Ubuntu? What did you find annoying about it?
EDIT: I will not ask this, we want to compare Mac/Linux/Windows users, and adding those options makes it incomparable.

Anyway, I use both Linux and Windows, and I'm not really an evangelist for either. I always play Telltale games on Windows, as that's easier than figuring out how to get them to work on Linux.
(Plus, I haven't got Wine installed on this computer yet....)
I have around 40 ubuntu discs in my drawer though (long story)
and windows 7 on my PC
All three of the above have had at least one Telltale series grace them at one time or another.. except the Netbook, which only has the graphical ability to render the launcher (on nights with a full moon).
Sadly, my home machine is currently running Puzzle Agent off a bootable XP thumb-drive due to reasons of [Ender is too lazy to recompile WINE to find a regression].
Tomato rules! Oh, how I'd love to try and get some sort of dynamic translation happening... my ARM access point outputting S&M through a JIT translation, through a WINE-like ABI wrapper, and out the serial port with aalib. W00t yeah!... but no.
I do like some of the features there comes with Linux, like the multiple workspaces but the only reason why I don't use Linux is because 99.9% of all games made uses windows, and I don't want to run a game on programs like Wine and such.
At work I use Solaris 8 and 10 and the latest Red Hat.
If there are plans to release games not only for Windows and Mac, but for Linux, too, I would be the first to order some more :-)
We can make a website that gathers all developers voluntarily to work free in companies to make Linux/BSD ports of their software ...
There are lots of developers who believe in open-source and work free on open-source programs already.
Why wont they work freely in companies to make Linux ports of the programs source? of course they should sign an agreement to keep the proprietary source of the company's software secret because after all, they are employees of the company ...
What do you think?
I have the exact same problem. But I got it to run somehow last year when the first tomi-episode was available for free at the time.
Let me know, if you find something to solve this.
That's true...Linux is great for Samba!
Because I use Windows.
Win 7 on Desky.
(Latest release, usually.)
I use it for everything... except for games designed for windows: since a ******* 7 license was included with my present PC I spare myself the wine configurations.
I absolutely HATE windows 7 anyhow, I would be more than happy to get rid of it, if native linux version of the aforementioned games was available.
Also, when available, I choose Xbox360 or Wii version of the game, for the very same reason. Windows is always the last option.
Also also, it's the case to state that in some cases I had better luck to run some windows-intended games on wine than on windows itself..... and that tells a lot, I think.
.... And as soon as I got the new PC, I removed the ugly windows sticker and replaced it with a shiny Ubuntu one
It plays all the old Lucas art games with SCUMMVM. It plays all my favorite ID software games wonderfully. It even plays American McGee's Alice under WINE flawlessly.
Linux handles multi processing far better than WinXP. Linux runs on older hardware better.... Windows 7 might have changed that....that is what happens when you have real competition.
Linux is totally configurable at any level you choose. I suspect most computer geeks use Linux to one extent or another. Windows XP is strictly a N user tool. Mostly for the uniformed or n00bs.
If Telltale chooses to only support Windows N users that is their option (and their loss) but there are a lot of Linux users who would love to not have to dual boot. I refuse to dual boot myself. If I cannot play it on Linux I will wait till some one has a hack so that it can. Therefore I will be slow to invest my money into Telltale games...what a shame because Telltale games in the Lucas Art tradition are great!

Chrome OS is technically BSD, and the open source one "Chromium OS" is More like Linux (since it's completely open source and uses GPL licence). but it doesn't mater anyway since Linux/BSD counts as one in this poll ...
