Regarding Protogon

Prior to this page's creation, the section regarding Protogon was removed by user Jasper Deng with the reason, "Please adhere to MOS. The reader is not a subject in an article."

I'm sorry, but I do not know what this abbreviation means. Do not assume that everyone will understand ambiguous abbreviations and please do not remove a section unless you are willing start a discussion about it. The cryptic reason given is not inherently understandable. Please, rephrase and elaborate.

Thanks, Neillithan (talk) 14:16, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MOS stands for Manual of style. Text should not be removed, but instead edited to conform to the style. If someone's edit does not improve the article, you can undo it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most important new feature for me: free pinball

A table of Pinball FX 2 is included in Windows 8 for free. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/29/pinball-fx-2-included-in-windows-8-consumer-preview/ --Fluffystar (talk) 18:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Third-party app that does not belong as a feature of Windows 8 itself.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:26, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, Space Cadet pinball was also developed by a third party (Maxis) and is listed under List of features removed in Windows Vista ----Fluffystar (talk) 19:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The difference is that that pinball program was something you could add/remove in "Add/remove features", but this is not the case with Windows 8.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:46, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Then we need an additional list of apps that come with Windows 8. --Fluffystar (talk) 11:08, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
