lol what?
I think his comment is more about the direction in which Microsoft is heading, where they are trying to compete with Apple and in doing so create a much simpler but less open platform for PCs. Essentially that PC OSes will just become big smartphones.

It's funny because it's true... So true. XD
Well, history shows that he is likely right, every other Windows is shit and every other is brilliant. According to this cycle, which is one of the most predictable in the galaxy, Windows 8 will indeed be a catastrophe.
iBlah's picture is correct in my opinion.

My god, it's like the Star Trek movies.

He does state why, I read this one at BBC news, it says it's mainly because of the UI and because of the Windows Store. He fears that if Microsoft chooses a closed plattform, it would be a threat to Steam. If Microsoft actually does that, I don't see how that wouldn't be less of a 'Catastrophe' for Valve.

No Steam = no Windows. Steam is the platform that I have invested by far the most time and money in. I'm sure I'm not the only one either.
Also, I love that avatar.

gabe wasnt talking shit about ps3, heres the background on it.
early in the gen xbox had convinced numerous developers to help 360 succeed against ps3 because it would benefit everyone to have more competition. And rightly so, devs can now expect near identical sales on both platforms with little associated costs.
Unfortunately devs didnt realize how muchthis would hurt sony and how muc ms would capitalize off of it tothe point where the company faced serious financial difficulty. This is one of the reasons why sony has snapped up so many devs this gen. Devs cannot be trusted.
add to that that xboxs strategy is to take the living room and tie it to the computer room. Look at their games for windows and the spread of live marketplace. Ms has become a threat to the pc marketplace where a lot of these devs release their own games.
long story short, devs assisted in weakening ps3, and by that introduced themselves to amuch bigger competitor. People like gabe understand this and so now are focussing on helping sony fightms.

I find myself wondering if Microsoft will allow Steam at all on Windows RT.
