I am thinking windows 8 is microsoft programmers that dont own a desktop, being passive aggressive towards those that do.

I can understand changing an efficient start menu from windows 7 into several hidden places in 2 corners with the main programs now expanded to take up the entire screen, along with microsoft advertisement programs and store apps, when working with a 3 to 10 inch touch screen. But just in past it made sense to make a business windows and personal windows, and now that has correctly merged, it is time for microsoft to make a tablet/iphone windows and a desktop one that efficiently takes advantage of desktops greater real estate. I dont need 2 inch by 2 inch start programs, though I can see my 3 year old niece liking it.

Bottom line, if tablet pcs, mobile devices, and iphones did not exist, there is ZERO chance microsoft would have designed windows 8 for such, they would have designed it for a desktop.
