Interesting stats. There appear to be as many Mac users as Linux users, and Linux users pay 2x more than Mac users.

I guess Mac users spend all their money on OS upgrades :)

This is a really interesting statistic actually. I got the last 2 bundles and I'm a Mac user. I am definitely pro-Mac OS. Seeing those stats made me pay a little more.

I am also an iOS dev and try and keep up on trends. I'd wager most Mac users are also iOS users. And current stats indicate that most iOS users are willing to spend money on software.

So why the stinginess here!?

iOS users get many chances to spend money on games. Linux users only get a few chances, so when a Humble Bundle rolls around, they jump on the opportunity. You can bet that iOS users spend more money (total, not per-game) on games than Linux users, because of the App Store.

Like avg $15 a year lately...
