    The one thing Microsoft will never do is try to deliver a good product. The executives would rather gouge the users for every last penny and steal all their data, and this will be it's downfall. Linux has the advantage, and is only getting started.

    I'd be down with Valve making a proprietary distribution of SteamOS that's easily installable, and works with other CPUs.
