Well... it really doesn't matter if Notch wants it, does it? Jeb is in lead development.
Why do people not like windows 8? I don't understand why Minecraft won't be supported.
AFAIK, the "lockdown" means you can't have your games you want unless Microsoft says you can have it. Which is why people are going to the next best OS, linux.
Yenwood, they are not going to Linux they are staying on Windows 7.
Even if they buy Windows 8, Windows 8 keys can activate Windows 7 software.
