Most people use Windows because they've been using Windows.
Windows 8 isn't really "Windows" as they knew it, it requires change. People hate change and if they're going to change, maybe they'll look at alternatives. If they have the cash, they might go for Macs (look at the sales figures lately).

Very few people buy Windows because it's NT.
No one buys Mac OSX because it's Mach.

BrownDB will now be created to complement MariaDB and the other forks Whoracle has forced with their greed.

OpenGL and Direct3D do the same things, the same way, on the same hardware.
So it shouldn't really matter how the OpenGL API is implemented, as long as it's done competently.
Given Microsoft's past of half implementing things and blaming the specification for their problems, I suspect IE 11 WebGL may be botched purposely.
Microsoft just invested $1 billion into B&N.
How much longer are the shareholders going to let monkey boy run things? A lot longer I hope ;)
