I think we'd all be happy if they charged the company's heads with RICO violations.
I paid for the ModernUI version of Plex. It was $2 or something and it's pretty much a showpiece for the touchscreen experience on Windows.
However, I own both a Surface and a Surface Pro, so I actually use it. I also own Plex on iOS, GoogleTV, the Play Store and Amazon's app store. Getting it for Windows 8 was really more about completing the collection.

You joke, but I know there's been lots of talk about releasing excess Carbon into the environment. (see: Melting Icecaps, Rising Waters, Cats and Dogs Living Together, etc.)
I wonder if these blooms aren't a counterpoint to something like that (a theoretical carbon sink?).
