Seriously, this is bad news just like the other times when the PC guys have left MS. I would not be surprised if he left because he was facing far too much resistance in the company and nobody really cared about what he wanted to do. Once again history is repeating itself and you'll see poor PC gaming support until they hire some other fresh face.
I predict the PC gaming industry will start to move away from Windows and into the Steam Machine world.
I also see MIcrosoft providing an OS similar to Google Chrome that will meet 90% of home consumer needs. They might make a version of windows for gaming but something tells me they will not. In fact I think Xbox is going to get sold because I really do not see cable TV as the future.
This made me think of you today: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2097460/chromebooks-getting-vmware-virtual-desktop-service.html
And actually Google ASKED for it. Told you Chromebook wasn't as popular as you thought (or would like), they are now trying to save it by running Windows on it.

Jesus christ dude, lol. Denser than pound cake, man, what the hell is the "Steam Machine" world? Do you know what you're talking about? Why do you do this?

Steam Machines will have there place, but they probably won't take over. But I WOULD like PC gaming to move to linux completely, so that no one has to deal with Microsoft anymore.
If only Valve had called it the SteampunkOS...ah, well. :P
I'm not surprised this Holtman fellow has moved on. I mean, he went from basically a flat almost no-tier organisation (Valve) to Microsoft with its multiple tiers where each decision has to go up through the chain of command and back down again before you can do anything (at least according to Molyneux, who apparently spent much of his time twiddling his thumbs and coming up with new sandwich fillings).
That's a shame, I was hoping that he would push for more PC gaming at MS.
He probably found out it's impossible with such idiots over there and left before he gets infected with their stupidity. Since the 360 came out years ago M$ has stopped caring for PC mainstream (excluding the WinOS obviously ... maybe ... I think) ...

so are you then willing to say that because Microsoft is looking at Android apps to run on a windows phone that this means windows phone are struggling?
as a developer myself I can say being able to run a VM on google Chrome is awesome
I have a chromebook by the way and its friggin sweet for the price point
Windows Phone has always struggled from the get-go to get developers to create for it, even though it's app store was the fastest growing out of all the phones.
Personally I think if they go the Android way it's a mistake, but time will tell.
