Why separate OSes for phone and tablet?
Both Google (Android) and Apple (IOS) had the good sense to use the same OS for phones and tablets. I don't understand why Microsoft chose separate Windows RT and Windows Phone 8 OSes.

Add this to the confusion that already exists among consumers (and even some Microsoft staffers according to interviews by CNET) between Windows 8 and Windows RT and I think Microsoft has created some major obstacles for themselves with having such a confusing line of OSes. A few days ago Samsung announced they decided NOT to release a Windows RT product in the US because of the costs of educating consumers, due to all the confusion Microsoft has created.
