spot on.

better news though .. we may at last see steam games ported to linux natively,

though of course we have heard that promised before without delivery.

seriously the more I read the worse it gets for windows 8 and the more it appears that MS really don't care, they are aware that enterprise can not drop windows overnight and pinning their hopes that forcing metro down everyones throat will start `forcing/encouraging` people to move to metro based tablets and phones, where they seem to think the real money is (+ the 30% of app sales of course).

Perhaps they can and will, but would have been nice to actually have finished windows 8 first, seriously, there are dialogs etc in windows 8 that are near impossible to use via touch.. even NEW dialogs in office 2013... you would have thought someone could have told the office devs about windows 8 hey ?
