Valve is simply not enough to get me to switch over.

They don't have a lot of games I thoroughly enjoy, Half Life and Portal is simply not enough.

But they do have two things, Steam and oodles of money to incentivize with. Steam for Linux would probably be the thing that facilitates Linux gaming.

No refunds on Steam? If you compare that to EA's Origin's refund policy...

Yeah. No.

Hopefully they go through with complete unification of the WP and W8 stores.

I'm pretty confident WP and WinRT will be unified by next year, but I'm not too sure they'll unify WP and Win8.

Making it easier for developers to public cross-platform means Windows turns into a walled garden?

They do, they're just bad at getting their phones out fast after announcing them.

I welcome this development.

Maybe I'll switch over to Windows Phone from Android.

Probably going to be early to mid-December, a bit before Christmas, IMO.

If the camera is what you care about, the 1020 is where it's at. Nobody will be able to compete with it for quite a while.

Tbh the camera isn't that important to me, but the difference in specifications between similarly sized phones is too slight for me to care. The Nokia has a huge drawcard with the camera, that's enough for me.
