i too, fall in this category. i run a linux server (currently q3test 1.08 @ ydnar.co.uk), and have a windows box on my desk. next to that is a mac g3.
technically, each license is for a single machine. to be completely honest, i'm going to have to shell out $120-$150 to populate my rigs.
in some ways, i respect id's decision. retailers in general don't have the first clue about the mac or linux market. for the first time, however, there is a game which will effectively level the playing field via a simultaneous release (close enough, anyway). same game, same release schedule, same gamers frothing at the mouth to get their hands on it, just different OSes.
i try to be as platform agnostic as possible, but i'd like as much as any to permanently replace "C:\" with "/".
so demonstrate your linux love with your wallet...and fight in the arena.
