Windows 8 Poll – What do you think of the new Windows 8 Logo

I saw that but then Tom Warren said he had confirmed it from Microsoft. Someone is not telling the truth and I’ll get to the bottom of it.

In fact, Microsoft is extremly optimizing their O.S for low end hardware ,like tablets and potentially smartphones, at the expense of higher end hardware.
This approach can make sense for Tablet and netbooks but certainly not for laptops ,which are getting more and more powerful while keeping reasonnable power efficiency, and certainly not for desktops. I would have prefered that Microsoft develop several version of Windows 8 each optimized for different form factors.
They could have designed:
*WOA for ARM based tablets and devices
*Windows 8 Tablet Edition for Tablet , convertibles and low end laptops, which would be more or less like the current Windows 8
* Windows 8 High End Edition for more powerful laptops , for desktop and other form factors such as Surface
The latter edition would take advantage of the more powerful hardware to provide:
*A more advanced, more sophisticated 3D U.I, including a prettier less flat version of Metro U.I
* A more advanced desktop experience which can fluently handle several monitor and several virtual desktops
* The ability to have more than 2 Metro apps on screen at the time
* The ability to open the start screen as a Window and not exclusively in full screen
* An evolved version of the taskbar which can open a 2D view, instead of a row, of the opened windows of a howered icon of the taskbar,
*Some fancy new features such as A.I based functionnalities like a built-in smart assistant, etc…

There are a lot of things that Microsoft could have done but alas they choose to focus too much on Tablet and touch screen based devices at the expense of more powerful and more productive devices, which contrary to a recurrent belief are there to stay and will continue to sell well in the foreseeable future. Not forgetting that those more powerful devices are pushing the limit of hardware, which ultimately benefit to lower end hardware devices which can become more and more powerful.
Do people that without the continuous evolution of CPU encouraged by both Microsoft and Intel/AMD, devices such as the current smartphones and the current tablets would be possible ?
