content: I think the scourge to Microsoft is their lack of policing in their Market Store or whatever it's called but that's not what the article is really on about. It's about Microsoft rebuilding themselves. They are sticking to what made them strong in the first place: Releasing the best IDE and tools for development. They know good and well that there's money to be made in many pots -- so they are going for gold here. Personally, I think the more "open" and wide things get -- the better and worse off we are. Better because a lot of things work in many places. Worse because you either have to plan for "everything" (e.g. the very thing that's plagued Microsoft for years) or you limit things (e.g. how Europe handled cell phone power adapters). You can't "just" innovate without a bit of good and bad. I think I may be communicating that poorly so let me put this here: https://xkcd.com/927/ The good is your games may one day run on every OS. The bad is: You won't get games as quality as you could do with a console (where they have a powerful but limited paradigm, I can't play my PS2 games on my PS4 for instance). Just my $0.02 on where this is headed.
