Cloud gaming, worst thought up DRM that will probably ever exist. R.I.P gaming if it becomes a thing.

Pretty sure everything Garriott has worked on after UO has failed, why I never put any money into this one -_-
Tabula Rasa never made it out of it beta period pretty much, had put money into it. With Garriott never again.

Embrace, extend, and protect? Microsoft joins the Open Invention Network to 'protect Linux and open source'

In all honesty its the fact that windows runs slow costs $$ for effectively putting malware on your computer. How they process and use information. windows is fine without all the extra bull.
I'd use it if the only thing I ran on it would be steam and nothing else ever outside of games.
Admittedly i'm getting to that point.
Would have the laptop as my dedicated Linux box for everything that's not gaming related.
Not saying i like microsoft just saying, I like playing games without massive hindrance.
Just hoping microsoft doesn't destroy a good eco system because it can pretty much.

Give it a couple of years the I told you so's will start flying :D

Yeah and probably laughing their arses off while Gabe is making the platform more and more viable to transition too for windows. the opensource community has already done the majority of the work and M$ will reap oh will it reap the rewards. If they play it right they win.

Then they will release their own shitty APIs, and expect people to use them on LINUX and start making opensource less opensource by pidgenholing developement to their flavour of LINUX.

Because and Microsoft knows this they can release and open source OS but still keep a lot of the applications propriety. In all honesty if they manage to make an LINUX os that people will just gravitate too because its easy to use and just "WORKS" everyone should have something to worry about tbh.

Well my assumption that they posted 60k patents onto the OIN is because they want that stuff protected when it becomes opensource...
Should probably rephrase that when they start releasing their stuff on an open platform...
