Windows 8 ships with its own app store and it is not an open platform anymore and Linux has everything they need: good OpenGL, pulseaudio, OpenAL and input support."


It's not anything I myself didn't know (or at the very least suspect), but this seems to make it more "official".

I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
