Pfft. A single checkbox is all that's needed:

It's so cute that you think a 3D FPS is "old school"!
Well they aren't malware
That's just where our opinions differ.
(just to be clear, I am joking... mostly)

The article is not wrong; the slashdot summary and lame-ass editing are to blame, once again.
The article says:

This sudden switch from speculative future to factual description is a bit of a jolt.
I have never seen this - my downloads resume just fine (and I know they do, because my connection sucks). Maybe the linux client is still having teething problems?

the high functioning human market
That's too small a market for Microsoft to care about. They're more likely aiming for the barely functioning humans...
So you are a Black Panther Neo-nazi, self-hating homeopath and unenlightened Buddhist? You're also in the KKK but you wish they'd stick to bake sales. I think you must be one of the most interesting humans in the world!

Sorry, Slashdot ate the umlaut and turned it into a dash for some reason, so the link is broken. Type your own o-umlaut (alt-u, o on OS X, alt-0214 on Windows with the numeric keypad, *wave hands* on other systems).
That's acceptable in some languages, but not Finnish.
