content: Does Sweeney really want MS to leave their OS more vulnerable to malware just so Steam isn't inconvenienced?  You might be on to something here. Maybe he does? Maybe it has nothing to do at all with Steam's convenience. Maybe they like Windows machines being easy to root? Would be interested if this extends beyond cheat detection or piracy prevention. EDIT: The funny thing is, if I left Windows I wouldn't ever use a corporate storefront Linux distro. I'd run Mint or Ubuntu. I'm pretty sick of companies telling me what I can do with products. I prefer to own what I buy. With Linux I own my computer. With M$FT win10 I run services on their behalf to make them rich. I'm sick of the slavery. Fuck those guys.
