        Oh, yeah, that was me, I ran Steam on my Linux laptop to buy a game that was on sale when I was away on vacation and didn't have access to my desktop.

              Sign into Steam multiple times in the month on Linux and never get asked to do the survey. Sign in once on Windows and immediately get asked to do the survey. I wouldn't put too much thought into the results.

                Why would Valve want to subvert their own efforts though? What would be the motivation behind biasing towards Windows?

                  It's either to launch a sneak attack on microsoft when the real numbers are right, or gross incompetence. Considering they refuse to even put out a 64-bit version of their client, I'm leaning towards the latter.
