Windows is trying to both maintain backwards compatibility and lock-in. That’s pretty hard at the best of times, moreso when you didn’t initially have lock-in. If I can get my games working on Linux (i hear it’spossible, but I need time), the only reason I’ll have to use Windows will be work-related.
@Quexotic@GreyEyedGhost for what it’s worth I’ve been working on Linux servers professionally for 15 years and I use a windows desktop and an osx laptop both personally and for work. I can’t think of a particular advantage a Linux client environment would give you. The last thing I want to do in either place is extra work making my local environment functional.
Well, what little interest I had for this console is now gone. Are they trying to pull another windows phone type move here?
If it weren’t for all the self-defeat, MS would be doing much better, I think.

My new job has me doing a lot with Linux. Might be the push I need to just pull the trigger. Certainly the OS is cheaper.

Me too, but as much time as I’d spend decrapifying windows, I could spend learning Linux
