Talk about a downer!! Everything revolting about Apple comes to Redmond!
Perhaps the notion of grafting yet another appendage onto Windows is
what is really revolting.
Apple is developing all kinds of friends in the developer community
with the tools that they provide for both the Mac OS and iOS.
Developers are particularly keen on the checks that Apple keep
writing them for wares sold through the App stores, and consumers are
very happy with the new pricing structure of downloaded apps, both
for mobile devices and Desktops. And yes, where it makes sense, some
features of iOS are making their way into the Mac OS.
But Metro is another animal altogether. Adding an entirely new UI
that is appropriate to tablets and making this part of Windows is
risky at best, and may be the straw that breaks the Redmond Camels
back.
Surprising that Bert has put up with Microsoft this long...

Craig
