GOG.com Supports Windows 8

Okay, I don't get one thing. Is Microsoft Certification *required* absolutely to be sold for Windows? I mean anyone can make and sell a game via all the various DDSs and there are plenty of current games that don't have any certification I know of.

If the certification is only required for a particular stamp, who gives a damn? Seriously? I don't care if it has "Games for Windows" on the box. As long as I can see it running and there's no news of major incompatibilities, I'll buy it. Screw Microsoft certification. I'm sure i have games in my steam library that don't have "windows certification".

What does it matter when every new thing's made for 7 year old consoles anyway?

Actually I've been thinking, what if we're thinking about this in the wrong way. What if microsoft doesn't want to make a full closed traditional OS for desktops, what if they're instead aiming for a closed off content provider for a media and computing hub.

So you have some mad crossover of Xbox, a PC, a TV, internet explorer and xbox live all rolled into one. Instead of microsoft concentrating on traditional computer or trying to catch up with apple, try to jump the gun and create a system that bridges the gap and does everything. So you have one machine that does your gaming, your mobile activity via the surface tablet and your TV. Now thats much more interesting for microsoft that a simple closed operating system.
