I think Windows' focus on backwards compatibility is part of what made it the default gaming platform on personal computers. Macs will never be a serious platform for gaming, even if they begin offering more performance, as long as they keep their obsession with wiping the slate clean and throwing developers off every 5-10 years or so. (I mean... 680x0, PowerPC, Mac OS X, x86, 64-bit-only, Apple Silicon, just how many breaking transitions do they have to go through?)
