Games, mostly. Too bad that the current crop of games are never being ported over. Only a few companies actually try to translate (or adapt) them, but then they run into copyright, settings, backward engineering.. etc etc which mean that the game, once translated, is either old, or it's technology has already been bypassed.
Does not help either that The Linux crowd likes to get their program free (as in beer) so there is little incentive for game companies to even think of supporting the users.
Heck, even the ones that did try on the level folded (Loki) as people just did not want to buy the darn things.
Until I can go into a store (any), find the _current_ release, purchase it and easily install it then I just can't justify the effort to change.
Why should you protest, if you got nothing to hide?...
