Why windows user might be paying less: 1. They have loads of choices for cheap games compared to the other platforms and hence are used to paying less for most games but big titles (Oblivion, street fighter) 2. They have gotten ripped off often with people promising the best software/game in the world and ended up buying a dud.

Interesting thoughts: 1. Age distributions: My guess would be that a linux demographic would have a much different age distribution than the windows user. If a 10yo is trying to dl the package he might be susceptible to paying less. 2. Gender distribution etc.
