[quote=”IronDuke” post=20000]I asked my brother about it (he’s a tech wiz) and he says that Microsoft took it all out.[/quote]
That is absolutely not true. Microsoft is still doing a lot of stuff, like tracking your location by default or sending your contacts all to the cloud if you want to use Cortana.
One of the most criticized features is WiFi Sense, which shares your Wi-Fi password with all of your contacts (thus, uploading it to the cloud – very secure).
The default settings send a lot of your data to Cortana. I can understand why, but I don’t want Cortana to know what I’m searching for or who the people I know are.
Even if you turn off all the privacy related settings you can find, there are still connections to various domains from Microsoft being made. Do you really know what they’re transferring there?
If they “took it all out” there would be no network traffic after turning all of the features off.

We did. Threads merged. B)

The first alpha is available on Steam and looks pretty good:

Fixed comment subscribers never getting any e-mails.
We already got a bunch of comments on articles and downloads, but I also missed them because the system was broken.
I will integrate a recent comments box in the menu soon.
Edit: A comments tab has been added to the menu. You can see your own comments and replies there.

I don’t know.
Games can be tested on appdb.winehq.org but those results are only for the pure wine. staging and nine are fairly new and not well spread yet.
In my opinion, if a DX9 game runs at all, it runs very well. But there may be problems with NVidia cards.

It isn’t 😛 I just had to build everything from source, because that’s Slackware.
I guess other distros have precompiled packages you just install and – done.
They should work as long as they’re not using DX11.

Maybe, but given the fact that OpenSSL was broken for years and it is Open Source, there is nothing we can really do about these security issues. Software has grown quite complex and it doesn’t matter where it comes from, someone *will* always exploit it.
The only way around this is not using any computers at all. 😀
I use a combination of wine, wine-staging and wine-nine (which brings me native DirectX9 support on Linux).
It works very well. Wrote a little bit about that here:

I’ve played through Betrayer, like I mentioned there. Which is quite funny, because it would always crash on one level when I was using windows. It turns out, the game crashes if you have really low RAM. But: The level loaded just fine on Linux. Fuck you, MS! 😛
I also enjoy the Batman: Arkham series (the first three games) on Linux or more recently, Tomb Raider: Guardian of Light.
Without staging and nine, game support is very limited, though.
