| Oh my!!! You are just too true to be good. How do you manage to write and research on such wonderful things? You have inspired me to work harder now. I shall try as much as possible to enjoy life to the fullest and be satiated with the wonderful things that are around me, which I have been unaware of until now. |

Those within Microsoft who are supporting this plan are apparently hoping that a pure Metro tablet will be much better to compete against the iPad. That makes a lot of sense since part of the appeal of the iPad is that it has very simple touch-centric interface — some portion of it contains Metro interface , but the Windows desktop lacks.But if Microsoft's purported new plan is to create a Metro-only experience on tablets and other ARM-devices, then why is Microsoft is been trying to put Windows 8 on tablets at all?

the last few days it has emerged that Windows 8 ARM computers, be it tablet, laptop, or possibly even desktop form factor, will be locked down and unable to run any other operating systems. This is in strong contrast to x86 Windows 8 PCs, which Microsoft has mandated must be able to run other operating systems

Our columnist Gary Marshall points out that Microsoft's decision to prevent third-party apps on ARM-based Windows 8 desktops will only serve to confuse.
He's right. And, what's more, it horribly hobbles ARM-based Windows 8 hardware to the extent that Intel will be rubbing its hands together with glee.ARM-based Windows 8's lack of legacy app support was the elephant in the room for the OS. It still is.People won't understand they can't just download and install legacy apps on something that looks like a standard Windows 8 desktop. That's not what Windows means to people.I was looking forward to having an ARM-based Windows 8 convertible running a chip like the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, where I could use Metro in tablet mode but also get the full laptop experience with a keyboard and the Windows desktop when needed.
