Microsoft touching up Windows 8 to address gripes

55. They went with Metro to "unify" Windows OS and Windows phone

Microsoft realized that more and more people are using their phones- and tablets- to do actual work, and they wanted to streamline their OS "experience" so that those people could more easily move between the two devices. I understand that, but it really wouldn't have taken too much effort to make the desktop OS "know" what type of device it was running on.

If they had done that, the majority of complaints I hear about Windows 8 would not exist. Metro confuses desktop users because it is a touch interface, and that makes no sense at all when you're using a keyboard and mouse. That said, being able to go to the start screen with the Windows key on my keyboard and just start typing to do a search that actually works and actually finds what I want to find does have something to be said for it.
