If they could make games work on linux along with having good gpu drivers I would try it out.

I may be doing that, but finding mobos without windows secure boot may become hard.You are free to use Linux.
Good linux drivers would likely be driven by demand. You'd need more people wanting better drivers in order for there to be enough pressure to make the gpu vendors write good drivers.If they could make games work on linux along with having good gpu drivers I would try it out.

Don't get the wrong idea, While I'm sure Microsoft would love to do this, not every other company with any leverage wants this. (Though I'm wondering if enough care to stop it) I'm sure other figures involved in this situation are aware of the implications, and don't really want Microsoft to "own all of computing."

True.They don't. They have a cozy relationship with Apple to starve off any anti-trust suits that might come their way. They don't wanna control all the world. Just enough to not get sued.
If steam comes to Linux, that could change.Not gonna happen. NVIDIA and AMD have way to much invested in making games run good on consoles and Windows.

They are also closing it to deter piracy. I have no issue with it because I pay for everything. I guess its ok for Apple and Valve but not MS?

I can get behind most of what you say, but this is absolute crap.
I bought a Sony cd, and it installed a rootkit on my computer. I legally paid for my content, but still got the raw end of the deal.
Windows 8 is an attempt to merge the OS for several devices, close the doors to outside developers, monetize everything, and make it all so seamless that most consumers don't realize what it going on. Newell can see this as a logical extension of the GFWL mentality, whereby MS gets a chunk of all sales and does little work for this extra money. Conversely, Steam made this mentality possible by proving that transparent DRM integration was acceptable to the consumers.
I don't like where things are going. Valve is stating the obvious, that MS closing off their systems is bad for all types of developers. Newell pointing out the obvious is nothing new, so why is this a big deal. It'll be November before EA makes a similar statement, but they will. I'm looking forward to the day that most consumers are forced out of Windows, by the slipshod practices of MS. By then Linux should be truly user friendly and easy to adopt for most consumers. MS will be moaning about their lost sales (due to ...piracy...), can't you see it already...?

Not a chance in hell. MS and Sony both make consoles. As long as they are the main players in the game ports will ALWAYS be for Windows and not Linux. Also Windows is industry standard for 99% of ALL business operations in the world.

99% - that must be desktop office and home users? that is some, I admit........
Where I come from, 90% of the production enviroments are running UNIX or Linux adaptions.
Why? - Stability, speed and the option to fine tune things your self - ohh and then some more stability. - and not some fancy GUI - tablet's or not - I don´t really care....
It sounds like he is worried about windows monopolizing the online game distribution market. If they really are including their own built-in version of steam with every single windows distribution. It Reeks of the whole "Internet Explorer v Netscape" anti-trust suit where Micro$oft ended up paying billions, since having the service built-in discourages alternatives to standard non-power users.

Sorry, I don't. But apart from these problems I'm getting the hang of it. Coming from Vista on this rig 8 is flying. Just copied from an external Sammy HDD through e-sata onto my old internal HDD a large file and it maintained around 100MB write speed. (You know you can watch a real-time graph sgowing you the speed?)

I don't get it.
Perhaps I'm stuck on an artificial number, but most businesses I know use a variant of Linux to run their server side. The sheer cost of a Windows Server installation is daunting, unless you absolutely have to have it for your business.
As far as the desktop market, yeah. MS wins the business desktop like a giant's foot wins against an ant. The problem with all of this is that it doesn't address GAMING. The point of the article, as I read it, was that a gaming industry giant is saying that their gaming platform was stretching out into Linux because they fear what Windows 8 spells.

Linux has massive driver issues with a huge variety of hardware - and the last thing anyone wants to do is to spend 4 hours on wikis trying to figure out why the OS goes into a kernel panic everytime they load up the linux version of Skyrim.
