      We’d get to watch Microsoft somehow destroy it, which would be as amazing as it would be awful. They really know how to make a great product terrible.

      Though, who am I kidding, they’d just close the entire thing down and expect people to switch to their store. That’s all capitalism’s “competition” is good for these days.

          Let’s hope for a future where SteamOS ushers in the Year of the Linux Desktop and SteamOS replaced Windows everywhere.

          Ah, I misread(the y in “they” is missing and I got thrown off haha)

          Dude that would be funny as hell and Microsoft fucking deserves it. They don’t make a single quality product; all they seem to be able to do is reskin a ‘90s Windows OS as a worse product for ten thousandth time and close competitors so they don’t need to do any real work.
