Choosing platform for my GameDev

As a gamedev hobbyist, what platform should I use for my tools and games,
Ah let me see, Hmmm...


A. LINUX PLATFORM

Ah it's cool if I could write games that would run under LINUX, Wait a minute... I need to install LINUX first, but most of my work are Windows related and I cant afford to spend some bucks for a second hand pc just to install linux. Maybe some of my friends or relatives has a LINUX installed from thier PC, Oh no, they didn't even know what's linux is all about, dang even my friends whos addicted on on-line gaming and surfing the internet dont know what is it either. My girlfreind said they are using linux from their office and use it as a server. she said it was.. Ahhh forget what she just said, she dont know what shes talkin about anyway.

JUDGEMENT:

If I write games that will run under linux, apparently,I cannot show it to my friends or from the office and to my relatives, obviously because they dont have linux installed, as I do, lol. And I dont think that my girlfriend wants to install it from their server just to see my games. For the time bieng LINUX platform is not an option for me until it is widely use, and I wish and hope so. Nevertheless im really eager and planning to dig into linux maybe next year just for the fun it be will some addition to my knowledge.



B. MAC PLATFORM :

How about writing games for MAC, ah as linux, no one I knew is using MAC, and I'm sure my pocket will not fit if I buy a new one. were to buy anyway. most of the malls here only offering PC compatible, Nyaaaahaha, I can assembled two high end compatible PC for the price of one brand new MAC.

JUDGEMENT:

I'll write games for MAC if anyone will send it to me as a gift including the tools I need, lols. It's not practical either for me to choose this platform at the moment.



B. WINDOWS :


What else there is, WTH who turns off the light? a there, OK where im I, alright it seems
"I DONT HAVE A CHOICE" but to write one under Windows.

JUDGEMENT:

A its seems most of desktop computer games are written under these platform, They say it will be cool if you could write games other than windows Platform, and I believe in that. Ahhh it seems lately MS are releasing free software even open source for some of their games, even free compiler with cool IDE with lots of support forum and communities.

OK, Multi Platform means more than one Platform, correct? and I guess WINDOWS, XBOX, POCKET PC and MOBILE are different platform. and it's supported by the .Net technology, so more or less choosing MS platforms will be my choice, like it seems I have a choice, lol.
