Although I would love to make anymore of the slight "Who's on first" joke, as the title implies what about Linux. It kinda seems biased to leave Linux out of an obvious OS pitch/debate, don't get me wrong I realize Linux is a PC OS. But the biggest arguments are about the OS's not the hardware though the iPhone stirred a little debate, and linux doesn't have a real great shot in the multimedia device field. Moving on, to stay on topic what about a third "anchor" running a Linux PC, someone from TechTV maybe, just a pipe dream, floating around in my silly head.

Problem is, then Kevin and Alex would have to go to his mom's basement to host the show because he never leaves there :p

I guess they'd have to steer clear of shooting on laundry day.

Probably the reason it gets left out is because unlike OSX and Windows there are tons and tons of different Linuxes. The only way I could see it getting into the argument is if it's for a single distro.
Plus, no one really cares. Consumers will choose between Mac and Windows. Most businesses (the majority of the market) uses Windows.

Yes, linux is the best thing ever because you can do anything any that any modern os can do and it's free yadayadayada.....nobody cares. And if they do care, they are already using linux so it doesn't matter.
