An email I got from Blizzard today

A few days ago I emailed Blizzard and asked them if they might port their games to Linux, and this is what I got back from them:
Hello,

Blizzard currently does not develop for the Linux platform - we are keeping an eye on the progress of Linux and may change in the future. Currently we only support our games on the platforms listed on the box/website. There are some issues with Linux that may interfere with a connection to our servers as well. Overall, we do not support the use of our games on Linux.

You have to wonder though, what in the world would interfere with the connection to Battle.net?

Havn't you heard? Linux is for l33t haxors they don't want those evil doers :wink:
Maybe its harder for them to program it to do network operations or their random excuse generator picked that one to reply with. Sounds like maybe next year they will start supporting Linux, unless Vista scares them away :roll:
