The debate rages on in the comments of my previous post, “I’m Sorry, The Windows 8 Hate Just Doesn’t Make Sense”. The perceived backlash against Windows 8, and the stubborn resistance to abandoning Windows XP—whichMicrosoft MSFT -0.42% will officially stop supporting next month—led me to go back in time and see how past versions of Windows were greeted out of the gate.

FREE TO PLAY is a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament. In recent years, E Sports has surged in popularity to become one of the most widely-practiced forms of competitive sport today. A million dollar tournament changed the landscape of the gaming world and for those elite players at the top of their craft, nothing would ever be the same again. Produced by Valve, the film documents the challenges and sacrifices required of players to compete at the highest level.
