As an Open Source and Linux fan, this is a little bit sour news. I don't know how this impacts real world. For anyone who does cross compile Windows apps from Linux, does this affect in any way? Article says it won't. So Tier 2 only means how much of bug testing and development is devoted to it, right?

    It only affects people who are cross compiling for 32-bit Windows from Linux. Considering that the last 32 bit only x86 CPU came out over 20 years ago, I bet you can count the number of people who will be affected by this on one hand.
