Well, he eludes to the fact that it will be less "open". But, honestly, isn't that the direction that the entire industry is moving? I think Apple has proven that this is what average Joe consumer really wants (and pays for) and MS is just following suit.
IMO, it's bunk because the PC side still looks to be fairly open to allowing users to install whatever they want. Just RT is getting locked down, which makes a ton of sense. Maybe Newell foresees the death of Steam in a few years if things keep going this way? I dunno.
