I do both Windows and Android software development - I have an iPhone, two Android Phones and 2 Android tablets. So I'm hardly "afraid of change". But the fact is that top end tools for what I do are all desktop tools - there is no Visual Studio, Eclipse, or Adobe Creative Suite that runs on a Samsung Galaxy tablet or iPad.

Windows 8 is optimized for portable devices with lightweight apps but it complicates life for those of us on desktops with heavyweight apps. Apple doesn't try to run the same OS on such two radically different platforms as desktop workstations and iPhones. i don't understand what Microsoft is thinking.
