I cant really cosign this one, by converging they shoehorned 2 different UI's into 1 OS, and dont seem to have given any one of the three groups what they really wanted.
- cyanbane 13y agoI'm not stating they did it well, just saying that for those 4 different platforms (excluding xbox one until release) they already have stuff "in production". The ship has sailed, and they put the farm on it.
- skrebbel 13y agoI guess it's just taste, too. I, for one, love the combination. When I'm coding, I'm nearly only in desktop mode. Browser with 20 open tabs, developer environments, consoles, the whole shebang. Then, when I want a break, I hit start and open Twitter or fullscreen IE10. I'm suddenly on a tablet (with a dock that's always attached, but ok). My ongoing work is still there but hidden from my view and my mind. I stop using the mousepad, and browse with touch only. IE10 has a really excellent user experience on a touch screen, it makes Chrome on Android tablets feel ridiculously ancient. Then, when I'm done with HN, private mail, and the weather, I hit Win+D and poof, my tablet became a PC again. It may be a coincidence, but Microsoft essentially made a two-mode OS that precisely matches the two ways I use a computer.
