I am very sad to say that Windows 8 is apparently going to be a closed platform: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_store/will-windows-8-allow-developers-to-post-metro-apps/9f28242b-4943-4ca2-bf63-d6f9b3a5b35f … Why isn't anyone covering this?
@0xabad1dea @miaubiz @DrPizza I don't think so - I only saw one, and it was just a report about Valve: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2012/07/steams-newell-windows-8-catastrophe-driving-valve-to-embrace-linux/ …

@cmuratori (note that the situation of there being no free c++ compiler for the desktop has since changed due to mass protest.)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@cmuratori honestly it's complicated - native apps will run fine on "the desktop" but ARM builds don't have "the desktop" -
@0xabad1dea But there's more at stake here than just ARM versions. I wrote up a more complete argument here:http://mollyrocket.com/casey/stream_0004.html … - Show replies
