Man, remember back in the early 90s, before Windows and when DOS was just mostly, but not wholly, dominant? There were games I wanted to play that didn't come out for my OS. There was other software that looked cool but was the same.

Then Windows came, and I really can't remember the last time I saw a program I wanted but couldn't run because there wasn't one for my OS.

If Windows died we'd at least have several years of that, if not longer. Not every developer would go multiplatform.

Or, you know, you'd just play your games on a console? Like MS WANTS you to do to begin with?

I think their plan is to funnel all Xbox users to Surface (or whatever they want to call it) by 2022.

Holy crap 2022.
