Found out about this awhile ago and figured you guys would find it interesting.
Seems Valve isn't too excited about MS's new OS.

That article is interesting. Also, some of the other articles on that site are interesting too. Thanks for posting!

Yea, it's somewhat frustrating the move towards a closed system for apps. Economically, Microsoft could stand to gain big from this, and stifle a lot of innovation and development. Windows 8 to me feels like a move to a more unified entertainment machine for everyone.

I played with the new Microsoft Surface tablet today, and it feels cool. I am slightly tempted to get the pro version (open platform) when it comes out. I would like to own a tablet to take with me and work on stuff anywhere I could fit some papers.

I like my games coming from one place in addition to my own physical collection. digital distribution leaves me a bit vulnerable, and having my content strung out over different services is just aggravating. Call me a fan boy, but I don't suspect I'll be abandoning Steam any time soon. And my next OS might just be a flavor of Linux. smiley
