The question is...
Are YOU an IT professional, or some clueless Microsoft sycophant who applauds every idiotic thing the company does, no matter how insanely retarded it may be?
The fact that you actually believe that Windows 8 will be successful because "it will work across all platforms" speaks volumes as to your level of expertise, or lack thereof. That's actually the main thing that will doom Windows 8 to failure. There's no such thing as "working across all platforms". Platforms are DIFFERENT. That's why they're called platforms. You can't have one magic pill to just make "everything work". We have 15 years of proven evidence with Java as to what happens when you try to make something work across all platforms. You end up with something ugly, slow, and laughable.
Furthermore, the fact that you actually believe that people will "operate" their computers with hand movements and voice commands is the final layer of icing on the idiot cake. Using voice control has been possible for 20 years already. I guess the fact that it never gained momentum wasn't a big enough clue for you? And don't even get me started on your "hand movement" lunacy.
You need to step back into reality, and come to terms with the fact that just because you see something in a sci-fi movie or TV show doesn't mean it's automatically "the future".
The interface of Windows 8 will go down as one of the biggest flops in Microsoft's history. Wait and see.
