The free-2-play model is just such bullshit, all these developers give lip service to the games not being pay-2-win but in the end it's either grind, grind, grind or pay up!

Yea it really sucks how developers all want to make a living wage and shit, fuck those guys! Make me some games bitch! I don't care if you could make ten times as much money with your skill set doing something else! LIVE IN POVERTY LIKE A MAN!

This is ridiculous.

Seriously? All they are doing is putting his work on one page for people that woke up to the news and said, "Damn, what movies did he do other than Top Gun?"

I could only name three. I was surprised to see how many good films were there that I would not have known about otherwise.

The one that pisses me off is seeing how FDA "Agent" Novitsky gets away with wasting millions of taxpayer dollars pursuing doping in Pro Sports. So far, he got Barry Bonds 30 days of house arrest for purgery. Oooo.

So if you buy Plants vs. Zombies for your phone/tablet you wouldn't like to also be able to play it on your PC?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems like the only reason microsoft is pushing Metro so hard is because of the app store. Is that right?

It's like they've figured out how to make windows into a F2P type deal where they plan to microtransact the ever loving shit out of all us peons.

It all seems pretty ridiculous given that almost nobody has a touch screen monitor(does anyone even sell those?) and Metro is obviously designed for exactly that.

It's really hard to believe that after all these years MS can be this arrogantly stupid. I guess some lessons need to be learned more than once for some people.

It will take a lot to get me off win7. This I know.

Note further that the "Metro RT tablets" are different from "Metro tablets" and can only run metro apps. RT tablets cannot run regular windows apps. Consumers will be very confused by all of this.

And if you're going to start over from scratch with all your programs then you're much better off with buying an ipad or android based tablet. The 7" form factor is what seems most popular, compact enough for travel yet big enough to still be usable as an e-reader and watch movies on.

I wouldn't pay more than $100 for a Metro RT tablet.

Well, it depends.
If you have iOS or Androids apps you can use them on your iOS or Android device.
If you have Windows RT you can use those apps on your desktop/laptop.

That's a pretty large advantage.

I don't see how this should be too complicated.

Windows RT = iOS or Android.
Windows 8 tablets = laptop in a desktop form.

Consumers likely won't be too confused because almost all of them will be funneled into RT. The other tablets are for power users and business types. If you're confused in any way, shape or form you get RT. It's the exact same thing as every other tablet on the market.
