Doing the standard "guess the conclusion" game with the title, I assumed that it would pick on the devastating changes in Visio (the ERD has gone from the prior weak state to the now disastrous), or the "move stuff around, call it a day" tactic that has been the standard for every Office release. I did not expect it to harp about tablets. I do not expect Office to work well on tablets, and that isn't a reasonable concern for every application to pander to. A rich mouse and keyboard interface does not carry over to a meat-sausage interface without a profound rethink of every aspect of the interface. We've already seen the worst-of-both-worlds approach with metro, and it simply needs to stop. I get that people want rich apps on their tablets. But they should be different rich apps that start from the ground up built for this entirely different interface medium. Every desktop app should not be diluted to support tablets, and personally I think that has already been a detour on a backroad that Microsoft has found themselves on.
