"Tiny brain share" says "small market share". Many owners of ATI cards also
dual boot. Now that their games can run on Linux properly (more about the huge
performance boost rather than the opening up), there will be less need
for 'that other partition'. I was on that boat several years ago (with Enemy
Territory and Doom 3). I deleted Windows when it was no longer needed for game
performance/compatibility on this ATI card. That was almost 3 years ago when I
stopped playing games.
