I'm somewhat keen to try Ubuntu on a touch device, but I've been a Windows stickler for years. I tried to switch to OSX but Mac always remained my secondary machine. I just felt that all the 'it just works' stuff was mostly just marketing speak. Sure it was nice to have a Unix compatible shell and have all my Ruby Gems work without issue, but once I moved to Node.js as my main server-side platform, the issue basically disappeared.
There is lots of talk about Windows 10, is it 'intelligently designed'? I'm not sure, it is fixing the errors made in Windows 8, it is definitely more innovative than OSX, not sure where it falls on the innovation curve compared to Ubuntu Touch.
I think if you want to be getting a future ready desktop OS, you can't ignore the importance of touch, and with HoloLens coming, getting yourself comfortable on a Windows OS may be a good idea. I'm amazed that as Apple lead the way with touch on devices, they have ignored the benefit of touch for the desktop OS. I don't use it all the time, but it's nice to have every once in a while, and I suspect it will only become more important in the future.
