honestly i could see notch "accidentally" leaking source code for a known proper build that everyone will just adopt as the only valid version of the game

he doesn't even have to do that, the entire Minecraft modding process is based around decompiling and reverse engineering the Java classes

i love the MS hardware division. it's like they live in their own world and get to ignore the poo poo show that is everything else at MS. i really hope they work out of some abandoned office building in redmond that microsoft forgot about, and higher level VPs walk around the hallways of other buildings trying to find the hardware division and tell them they've been let go.

They are not Ion Storm.

MS Hardware has been churning out lovely product after lovely product for a long time now: Does the world really need "Arc" and "Sculpt" mice? The Intellimouse days are long gone.
