Understanding RO playerbase in terms of OS.

Since the release of Regnum on Steam there has been many reviews of the game on various websites. While all of them have both positive and negative reviews it is easy to observe a certain tendency: windows oriented sites (like steam itself, for example) seem to have more scolding posts, while linux games sites generally have more approving (for example: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/article...-on-steam.1796).

However the OpenGL port of the game engine is underperforming and there is growing concern that the developers have no intention of addressing this situation: http://www.championsofregnum.com/for...ad.php?t=95962

Considering this, I imagine it would be useful to understand the current player base in terms of OS they use.
