I see laptops, and desktops as basically the same thing in the context of the original discussion (which was on the merits of a tablet OS vs a PC OS). My niche comment was based on the fact that I think the new UI works for tablets and laptops. Less so for actual desktops. But I thought desktops were becoming more niche. With that said, I agree with everything else you said. Tablets are great for consumption, not creation/productivity. This is actually why I like the Win8 approach if I can seamless hop between the two worlds.
