As an Open Source and Linux fan, this is a little bit sour news. I don't know how this impacts real world. For anyone who does cross compile Windows apps from Linux, does this affect in any way? Article says it won't. So Tier 2 only means how much of bug testing and development is devoted to it, right?

And it really only concerns a certain subset - 32bit applications compiled with the gnu toolchain. I'm glad they keep the workload in check this way.
