They call it play anywhere yet its just windows. Duh this is good but not impactful.
Love how guys are cheering for gamers as if its available for psp and linux aswell or something.
Yes getting a UWP game on Linux and PS4 each with different programming languages and stores, can you be anymore stupid?
Lol actually that's fairly simple and possible if the systems share the core OS like PS4, Mac and Linux do. That's why Linux programs run with no to little modifications on Mac.
Ah, no. LOL!! The Mac is "Unix" based. Linux is not binary compatible with Unix. Unix is to DOS, and Linux is to Windows. Outside of some homebrews, people have to run Linux in a VM on Mac.
That said, Windows blows chunks. Ubuntu and Mac OSX are he way to roll.
I'm not talking about binary compatibility but the structure and usage of the OS is pretty similar. So similar that you can compile many of the same programs on Linux and Mac pretty seamlessly (well on most Linuxes, other Linux-based systems like Android are trickier). That is a huge step towards true universal compatibility, you don't need to be 100% compatible but if the core structure of your system are similar then the modifications needed to make a program run between systems are minimal. For Windows it takes more time and resources since it is pretty different but can also be done of course not as long as Windows exclusive libraries like DirectX continue being the most popular. That's why MS losing strength in the gaming industry is a good thing. Maybe then we can achieve a support for true universal compatibility sooner than later. More freedom for the industry, more freedom for devs, more freedom for manufacturers.
