Yes but thing of the horrible things the store could do with this information.
They're know what you like to buy when you're in the store! They could send you all kinds of terrible coupons and special targeted deals on things you buy all the time. The horror!
It's like 1984 only more like 1994! Great shopping deals will be the downfall of humanity!
Virtually all commercial open source projects require copyright assignment.
Oracle sued Google because Google took over the mobile market with their Java variant.
No one has been nearly as successful with Mono, so Microsoft hasn't sued yet. Since Microsoft is dropping.NET for future projects, chances are they'll never get a chance to assert their.NET patents against a successful platform competitor.
You're stuck using windows with C# and web development. ASP.net is not part of the.NET standard, there's been some attempts by the Mono people to clone it but it's not remotely production ready.
Java is open source and cross platform..NET is closed source and runs only on Microsoft platforms.
Word from Redmond is that Microsoft is going to attempt to clone Steam now.
They're working on a competitor called "Shaft."
CEO Steve Ballmer even said he "can't wait to Shaft his customers, it's going to be the biggest thing since squirting on the Zune. It's going to totally fucking kill Steam and Linux off."

It's funny, millions sold but I've never seen one in person, ever.
I don't see why this is a good thing for Intel? They own the x86 market and ARM is a strong competitor for the future.
How does opening up the market help them?

I've been asking them to get rid of the Start Menu for years and they finally did it with a recent release.
I hope they remove networking capability next and maybe add more DRM.

You've lost the mobile war, you've lost the browser war and you're going to lose the OS war soon enough.
No one use IE any more.
This is Unix, I know this!
Thank jebus, I was just remarking to one of my colleagues about how many seconds it took to beam down to the planet on our last mission.

I'd totally like to be hung.
Oh I'll never forget the wonderful score Prince did for Doom 2.
I Hear a cackling that sounds a lot like Steve jobs.
Poor C3PO will never hear the end of it!
Someone big needs to jump into the desktop area with both feet and Linux will win.
Look at virtually every other computing market: servers, mobile, embedded, etc. Linux dominates.
Haha! NO ONE expects global warming!
Yeah because why have one out of date runtime when you could have dozens of out of date runtimes!
This isn't a flaw in the runtime but the browser plugin.
What?
That's okay, 2009 was the year of the Linux phone.
