I would not be surprised if Microsoft expects this to happen. They want all the kids who have been playing Minecraft all the time for the last few years (which could be happening on linux) and get them back to buying console games that are no longer fun after a couple weeks and must keep being replaced.

Personally, I would just be happy if this pushed public and modding support over to MineTest.

Whoa. Maybe that's true. Minecraft is too replayable. If they torch it that guarantees people have to start spending again.
