Sadly the only reason I keep my windows based desktop around these days is PC gaming is still very much windows based.
Perhaps I'm paranoid but I'm seeing a lot of tentacles extending around a few ecosystems from Microsoft. I see lots of praise but some rational analysis and caution might be worth considering.
