What's irrelevant is your post since it doesn't reflect the following

1. U.S. and E.U legal judgements against MSFT.

2. MSFT's market power to shape the Wintel PC standard. I have gave you two recent changes on the Wintel PC. MSFT carried on with their Windows logo program.

Pointing to Google's examples are powerful counter-arguments against the regulators.

Note that E.U. is looking at Google's monopolistic practises.

3. MSFT's ability stop 3rd party apps.

increasing windows sales have nothing to do with the fact that PC is a damn open market,in fact windows 10 was being given Free so how does making a PC game helped sell something that was free

Wrong, you didn't factor the following;

1. Increasing Windows sales/install base are one of the primary profit driver for MSFT.

2. The primary driver to increase Windows sales/install base over the alternative OS is Windows apps i.e. specifically Windows X86 apps, hence an open 3rd party market is primary driver for Windows being selected over other alternative OS options.

Open 3rd party market helps Microsoft to be the dominant player in PC industry.

A shift to MIPS64 or Alpha or Itanium CPUs will kill MSFT i.e. it renders every full feature OS competitors an even playing field.

For Wintel PC, the end user only pays a single access tax for Windows. Indirectly, a proper commercial developer pays for publishing certificate to avoid the un-user friendly warning message.

The above message has stop my Mum and Dad from installing 3rd party apps without a Windows publishing certificate.

For Windows, MSFT has control over certificate authority companies i.e. MSFT sets the standard for Windows related certificates.

For game consoles, the end user pays separate access tax for each console game.

3. Windows 10 being free has other MSFT profit motivations

  • Accelerated Windows/Xbox store user install base increase. The primary opponents are not Sony nor Nintendo i.e. it's Google's Play and Apple's iTunes/App store.
  • Accelerated Microsoft Cortana install base increase which uses Bing search engine. The primary opponents are not Sony nor Nintendo i.e. it's Google's search engine.
  • Windows 10+DirectX12 combo has nullified Windows 7+AMD Mantle combo i.e. it rendered AMD Mantle economically non-viable for 3rd parties which is effectively dead. AMD's argument on buying Windows 10 at a cost for Mantle like improvements was killed by MSFT with a free upgrade to Windows 10.

Windows 10 is effectively MSFT's Google's free Android OS with Google services business model.

That's irrelevant to the Windows ownership issue.

But wait can you play PS2 or Vita games on PS4?

NO MS can only revoke your license if you DO something that violate the EUELA not because they say you know what i don't feel like letting you use windows any more,they CANT DO THAT when you payed for a product,and yes we all know how many billions MS has pay in fines because of their acts.

Windows EULA states YOU are licensing the product and it's NOT SOLD to YOU i.e. MSFT still owns Windows.

From Windows 8 EULA

If Microsoft breaches any part of this agreement, Microsoft is only liable for the cost of this software i.e. Windows. In another words, they CAN DO THAT i.e. breach their own agreement.

Since Windows 10 upgrade is provided free, if Microsoft decides to breach their own agreement; the cost to MSFT is zero. Good tactical move on MSFT's part.

Since Windows 8, 8.1 and 10's machine login access are bias towards live.com/xbox.com user logins i.e. MSFT makes it harder to create local logins for the home users

Windows 7 is the last Windows OS as we know it i.e. like MS-DOS/Windows 1.0.

Stop denying Wintel PC standard is not owned by Microsoft and Intel.

Let me make this simple for you blind lemming can you play xbox one games on PC.?

Phisically insert and install an xbox game on PC.?

Can you publish game on xbox one without MS concent.?

Can you publish games on PC without MS concent.?

Your whole wintel crap argument like always is a total derail so you can argue something that NO ONE was ARGUING.

Just because MS say on the EUELA that they can come to your house and kill you if you stop using windows doesn't mean the LEGALY can even if you agree to it,and this is were your argument fail.

Fact is unless you breach contract MS can't terminate your software without any reason just for fun.

So once again the argument is the xbox one LOSS 1 exclusive,having the game on PC HURTS the xbox one because now you don't need an xbox one for it,that is call a loss a multiplatform in other words,if this continues the xbox will loss its reason for being alive,which bring me to my other point i think this moves are being done because MS is moving its series to PC and leaving the xbox brand to die or sell it.

@aia89: Actually it doesn't.

It does the more exclusive xbox games land on PC,more and more irrelevant the xbox one becomes,if i can get all xbox games on PC why would i want an xbox for specially when PC has free online play,and has many more games the xbox one doesn't play.

The same apply to any console as i already told you you lemmings did care about exclusives last gen this one you don't is sad.

Blind lemming? Windows has existed before Xbox you stupid cow. My views with Wintel vs time wasters (e.g. PowerPC, MIPS, Alpha, 'etc') haven't changed.

@tormentos said:

Physically insert and install an PS2 game on PS4?

Physically insert and install an PS3 game (with low SPE usage) on PS4?

I can release XBO games by following MSFT's guidelines. Your argument with the "console tax" doesn't negate Microsoft's governance over the Wintel platform.

A programmer needs a certificate runtime to run programs on XBO.

A programmer needs a publisher certificate to avoid un-user friendly Windows's SmartScreen warning message on Windows 8/8.1/10 X86 and X64 editions.

If 3rd party app needs driver level access, a programmer needs a certificate runtime to run programs on Windows 7/8/8.1/10 X64 editions.

A programmer needs a certificate runtime to run programs on Windows 8/8.1/10 ARM edition.

GS has restricted any discussions on running homebrew code on any game consoles with a restricted DRM.

The only crap is your post. Your argument with the "console tax" doesn't negate Microsoft's governance over the Wintel platform.

@tormentos said:

That's red herring. Microsoft's EULA refers to the license agreement NOT "they can come to your house and kill you".

Breaking civil laws and paying fines are just the cost doing business. You are native.

@tormentos said:

MSFT is not interested with time wasting activities.

Again, from Windows 8 EULA

What if Microsoft breaches any part of this agreement? If you have any basis for recovering damages from Microsoft, you can recover only direct damages up to the amount that you paid for the software. You may not recover any other damages, including consequential, lost profits, special, indirect, or incidental damages. The damage exclusions and limitations in this agreement apply even if repair, replacement or a refund for the software does not fully compensate you for any losses or if Microsoft knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. Some states and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or other damages, so those limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. If your local law allows you to recover other damages from Microsoft even though we do not, you cannot recover more than you paid for the software.

If Microsoft breaches any part of this agreement, Microsoft is only liable for the cost of this software i.e. Windows. In another words, they CAN DO THAT i.e. breach their own agreement.

Microsoft can and has terminated 3rd party software i.e. Microsoft is governing Windows.

(SNIP)

Large car manufactures has multiple brands e.g. VW group has Skoda, SEAT, VW, Audi brands. SEAT models can overlap on some of VW's models, but in the end of the day, it's still VW.

Your argument is flawed since doesn't reflect large multinational corporation's marketing tactics.

There are multiple paths, but there's only "One Microsoft Way".

XBO's business model is for countering Japanese's "console tax" business model by adopting/assimilating the same business model.

Unlike PlayStation 4, games being available for either Wintel PC or XBO doesn't reduce Microsoft's platform dominance position.

To keep it simple,

Games on Windows = Microsoft is happy. Increase Windows desirability over alternative OS.

Games on XBO = Microsoft is happy. Increase XBO desirability over alternative game consoles.

Games only on PS4 = Microsoft is NOT happy.

Note that PS4's FreeBSD OS usage offers very little benefits to the overall FreeBSD/OpenBSD community.

@casharmy: You realize you did not finish reading that statement? It says in your own link Hardware in conjunction with Software. Its a Specific Combination.

OS without hardware is useless. The hardware is just a vessel to contain the OS. The OS gives the computer it's character i.e. the programmers create programs that uses OS's functions.

PS4's is effectively a X86 PC but it's customised FreeBSD OS gives it a different character to a Wintel PC. Same with Apple's MacOS X (customised Mach unix clone OS named Darwin) running on X86 PC.

XBOX is effectively a cut-down/slim-down Wintel PC but the it requires runtime certificate to enable user-land apps to run on it. XBO's runtime certificate requirement is similar Windows for ARM CPUs.

XBO's DRM has additional protection over it's Wintel PC counterparts which is mostly targeted for developer's desire to protect their content.

Due to legal constrains, XBO and PS4 are protected by DCMA type laws, but some people chose to ignore the DCMA laws and has made certain a console which will remain nameless into kit-bash Linux X86-64 box. There's a few difference with PS4 which is outside the GS forum's scope.

When nearly everybody running on X86 PC, it's the OS that makes the difference.

OS + CPU is the platform for the apps.

CPU is the platform for the OS.

This thread is starting to prove my original theorem that lems will start to have an identity crisis this gen as they become proxy Hermit cheerleaders.

Are herms ready to accept their new found brethren?

Careful, PS4 not restricted to just Sony signed code.
