May work good when your Internet is fast enough, but as some members of the German Pandora Boards used still a Modem and did moan when you post a bigger Picture, (this was about 2010), i dont think whe are ready for Cloud Gaming yet..

I guess it's probably using linux under the hood on the server, because it's cheap and performant. Nobody who could drive linux would ever pay for windows for servers under their own control I reckon. But I'll just note it doesn't actually support linux on the end user devices unless you count fire os as being a linux, or are happy with web services, because it lists PC, Mac, Fire TV and web services for mobile on the landing page.
I personally don't care about that as I mentioned, I'll never use it. However if they help, as a by-product, Linux gaming (and certainly alternatives to Windows gaming), then I'm all for it.
