I have to mostly agree on this. I don't know why MS & Google feel the need to create a one OS fits all mentality. Some concepts just don't work for a tablet, phone or desktop. Some need to be different. I also don't like productivity with a touch screen... smudges and blurry parts of the screen don't work so well.

I've been a pretty big fan of ChromeOS... I only hope that the Android experience doesn't really destroy things here. On tablets, I find the android experience starts to break down a little, mostly in the system menus (slide down from top)... Other apps may or may not scale well. The GMail app does better than most, but some are just bad.

It's not easy to make an app that scales from all sizes/orientations, and this will just muddy things imho.
