Where did you get that imression? Linux has not had a larger marketshare then Mac since the last couple months...give it some time and have a little patiance...it will get better, already is

RtCW:ET and America's Army were both ported to Linux before it was on Mac's...oh and Neverwinter Nights had a full working Linux client a full YEAR before Mac did...

same thing w/ ut2k3- linux had a client shortly after windows did, but it was 9 months after that before mac had a client/server.

It's also due to games developers going off how many of each OS is bought, Linux is seldom bought (I mean boxsets not burnt CDs). Windows almost always comes with a new PC< so when someone buys a new PC 99% of the time, they're buying a copy of windows too, which gets counted on the windows side of things regardless of if it ever actually leaves the shrink wrap.
