OP Tim is correct - Apple sabotages Windows by making iTunes a bloated piece of shit that makes windows crawl on its knees - it's not hard to look good and act superior when you sabotage the competition.
Microsoft wants to crown itself king and will do everything possible to force XBONE and their ideology and way of doing things - this is the same as apple though.
No surprise I can't support either, and while every system has its flaws or cave-outs, at least on Linux if Developer-X makes a bad choice the project is forked to save the users from the bad choice,
eg - OpenOffice -> LibreOffice,
Or for some but not me, they prefer Mate over Gnome 3.
In Windows or Mac world they make a bad decision you're screwed, your files are in their cloud, you can't turn off updates, your PC bricked because of mandatory Windows 10 update? Too bad.

Microsoft: What excuse can we have for ripping Minecraft away from Linux users?
Developer: Well we can create a new launcher
Microsoft: Genius, we'll say Linux isn't big enough to justify why our new version won't work on it
Developer: No one will suspect a thing sir.
Microsoft: You're earned your pay, enjoy a $20,000 Xmas bonus
Microsoft: hA Ha Ha HHaaaa Haaa Ha ha Ha

Horray, Skylake/Intel HD Graphics are surprisingly good, I can run some games on medium settings @ 1080p, but mostly the # of issues on Linux goes down a lot.

Starbound officially released!

Well I guess it's time to give Starbound a second chance now that It's 1.0
And it fails now I give up on it forever.
At least now I expect no new features will destroy old saves and worlds which I like.
