Of course you can't change your mind, even if the guy who started the entire debate has revised his opinion. That would require admitting to yourself you're a gullible idiot.

Libre Office, GIMP, Firefox, InkScape, whatever are all inferior substitutes for other software on Windows and Mac. They are clunky and bloated and have janky GUIs. I use some of them, but if I had money I'd ditch them.

Office has been terrible since ribbon interface
GIMP is awful
Firefox is inferior to what? Internet Explorer?
Also Inkscape is great, fuck off

Win 8 and 10 have fake hibernate as shutdown, for shit hardware it boots a lot faster so everyone thinks the whole thing is faster.
For me win 7 is fully loaded in 16s, win 10 in 23 (10 shows desktop in like 11 seconds by postponing software load, not really helpful in my case when mouse runs at retarded high dpi until everything is loaded).
8 and 10 are 7 with more and more shit added on top, can't see how they would run better. Still waiting for that significant suite of tests that shows 7 under performing vs 8/10.

At least try to refresh your repertoire every now and then dude. Your constant defense of DF could at least be written off as you being a fanboy of DF and Schafer's pre DF games, but since you are now repeating the same thing for EVERY company that does something questionable or just downright shitty, you are starting to look like a really obvious and unoriginal troll.

After Games for Windows Live I just doubt they will care to support anything similar beyond few years if they will need to cut some cost.

Uh. He received new information and indicated he was open to reassessing his opinion in his future. I'm sure he stands by his article.

Yeah he did, but people here didn't, because you know, once internet makes up its mind, there's no going back, because there's MAH FRAGILE EGO at stake.

When valve pushes the same shit on SteamOS na that shit hardware it will be funny to read the excuses.

I doubt that they would have any more vocal apologists than MS, considering lack of enthusiasm for SteamOS and reaction to valve's past shit moves (like last year's attempt at pushing paid mods)

It will run at the speed of a traditional drive unless you update your bios/registry settings.

Great argument you sure showed me. Facts and reality are always trumped by "no u", "urmom" or "youa redumb r00fles"

The only question with UWP is: Why? It still has an exe file inside (the uwp app literally just manifests as a folder in your WindowsApps directory where you can access the data inside) so what's the point?

UWP is a container that can contain multiple executables so that one UWP can be run on a Windows PC, xbox or windows phone/tablet. You'd have to ask Microsoft to explain why anyone would need or want such a thing, but that's what the format is supposed to do.

I like Microsoft because their are inept like cartoon villains. They try again and again to do the same shit but is like they themselves don't really believe in the things they are doing. Low-energy villains.
On the other hand, Apple and Google are way more competent. Just think about the abomination called Android: Java-based OS, massive information gathering, constant monitoring of your movement, shitty APIs and so on.
There is nothing open about Android and still ... every fucking retard bashes Microsoft and loves his smart phone. Well, there is nothing more to be said. Microsoft will fail again. Retards will remain retards.

They seem to think they're in a position to pull shit like this and still gain and maintain a loyal userbase. I mean, it's like they're suddenly unaware that Steam and, god help me, Origin exists, and that they really can't pull shit like this if they really want the userbase from either to migrate over to UWP.
I mean sure, you can force a couple thousand people to use it once or twice to play Gears of War or Quantum Break, but that doesn't exactly create a reliable consumer base.
