I don't want to hear any "TL, DNR" bull. If you too want to know what MS was thinking, read it. I don't know that I like the Metro interface any more after reading this, but at least now I know where MS is coming from.

Palmy, old boy, MS says your perceptions of general computer use are more outdated and off-base than you could even begin to guess. See that XP paragraph that starts 'By 2001...'? You're still living it, but few others are. See that chunk beginning, "7. Make your PC work like a device, not a computer"? THAT is where almost everyone else is. You may never have any of this ... stuff personally, but consumerization is going to force a lot of it down your corporate workplace throat. Pull your head out, set your watch forward 12 or even 15 years, and fuggin' deal with it.

The queue for 'I told you so's' and b!tch slaps forms below and to the right. For those of you who get the reference, I'll leave the helmet off.
