    If you still cling to XP with white knuckles do they show you ramshackle old country hotels?

    If you browse on a touch device do they show you hotels that offer a "hands on experience" (I'm looking at you Amsterdam)?

    They pay more than Windows or Mac users on average during Humble Bundles so I assume even pricier hotels, although I don't think many have caught on to that little fact yet. I hope they don't!
