Notch refuses to help certify Minecraft for Windows 8

[gaige333]

I don't get why everyone is just complaining about Windows 8 being shit and that we should never touch it etc. I thought it'd be shit with Metro at first, then a mate kept nagging at me to try it.

At first it was a cunt, because I didn't have a clue what to do with it. After a couple of days it's much better than Windows 7 imo and the OS is much faster for me.

As for all this "Microsoft is turning Windows into a closed platform" or whatever. They haven't done it yet, so stop complaining. If they do it with the next OS, then don't get that one. Windows 8 is brilliant and Metro is sexy.

As for Notch, he's just being silly I think, and does seem to be over reacting.

I make more than enough money without fixing people's PCs. I just do it as a courtesy to people that I know and need it. They need to stop getting 32-bit operating systems in 2012.

Most App store certifications are actually all about programming. I bet you if they saw the horrendous quality of his coding, they'd say no.

I doubt it not when they get a share of all sales.

I really hope Microsoft will eventually move to a more efficient filesystem... what happened to WinFS?

The Wikipedia article on it links to [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/jun/29/insideit.guardianweeklytechnologysection"]this article.[/URL] I'd love a filesystem that organizes things based on metadata instead of folders, but apparently nobody wanted it.

They are introducing it in Win Server 2012 I believe. Going by what I read on the Wikipedia entry it won't be a bootable filesystem, so NTFS will still be used for Windows itself, but extra storage devices can use the new one.
