Don't want to rain on the parade but - What is the error margin of this poll/survey? A margin of error of +/-2% would be very good for most polls.

There is definitely a need for a 'third' choice when it comes to desktop gaming platforms, hopefully Linux can take off sometime in the future.

Thats data that is automaticly gathered by steam - it's not a "survey" where you can pick OS.

Is it opt-in or opt-out?

Edit: Nvm found my answer

Its optional. Also other people have mentioned that steam randomly chooses users to take part in the survey and then asks them if they want to participate.
