I see this as the beginning to an end of Windows of the past...
As early stated in other posts, Microsoft has had push back from game developers, because Microsoft has been pushing to remove Legacy support, as to make game developers only supply games via the Windows store. The caveat to all of this, is that Microsoft wants 1/3 cut of all apps sold in the store. So, lets say you used to pay $60 for a game, if you are forced to buy via the Windows Store, MS wants a 1/3 of that, so game developers now have to sell that game for $80 to make up the difference.
Now I see this article as basically saying, MS is trying to transition all the Legacy desktop applications developers into a new metro tiled app model form. Ultimately, doing the same thing, making things only available via the Windows Store, hence adding themselves as the new middle man for any Windows application. (whatever happen to 'cut out the middle man')
And some people wonder, why I am not a fan of Windows 10. FREE windows 10, LOL.
This MS spiel that Windows 10 is FREE, is bunk. Windows 10 isn't free, it is an exchange program. You simply exchange one license for another, and MS ultimate goal is to remove all legacy applications and support so everything is purchased via the store, costing the consumer higher prices. That is my opinion, and I think this article helps demonstrate that point.
