If i only want to use xbmc i prefer openelec for sure.
For playing games steam is saying linux, but with NVIDIA cards though because of drivers/support
If it has to have software wich do not work with wine then it`s going to be windows.

I've grown to love an Android base for XBMC. By setting XBMC as the default launcher it's a seamless setup. The real benefit is in the apps. I can swap to Netflix, Youtube, Pandora, etc straight from within XBMC, and right back without any hiccups. The trick is finding the right Android hardware.

I am about to build the first XBMC device since my original Xbox and would like to know if I should build a Windows or Linux HTPC or just get an Android stick. I am willing to put up with a little pain, if one of these platforms becomes the dominant one in the coming months.
I cant speak for anyone else but for me it is:
Linux - More specifically, Ubuntu LTS minimal 64bit and some Nvidia GPU
