[QUOTE="Taleweaver, post: 8232080, member: 237261"] I'm...really not sure what you're saying here. Of course you have to allow permission for every single app you install. It's like that on apple, windows (today...not in a decade), android and at least on the linux distributions I've used. It's only standard safety procedure: rather be more cautious when installing programs (making it harder for malicious programs to install in the background) than being too lacking about it and end up with bug manifestations like the average Joe has on windows xp. The doom thinking of microsoft attempting to seize control over every program on their OS at this point is as stupid as a paper company trying to control what people are writing on their product: the very means of that freedom is what sells the product in the first place. The moment microsoft decides that "homebrew" is no longer allowed on windows, the best they can hope for is companies not upgrading or bailing out of windows. More likely, they'll get multiple sues for that practice (again: a lot of companies adopted windows because it allowed their programmers to write programs to fit their specific needs. As such, they are reliying on their "homebrew" program to work their business). EDIT: What? Already? Hmm...thus far I've only seen one guy playing hitman 2. Of course, playing windows games on linux, or even windows steam games on linux isn't really new. It was just a bit cumbersome to set up (last time I tried it). You had to install and configure wine...then download and install the steam installer executable through wine. This would work, albeit in a clunky way (the least i remember is the font being pretty weird). Then you could install windows games (or windows-versions of multiplatform games) on that same virtual hard drive you'd designated to steam. If the game worked correctly, this was fine, but if it was possible to then also set special flags for not-platinum games or using a different wine-version, then I certainly didn't know how to do that.
