I believe the idea with Win8 was to “merge” the PC/tablet GUIs so MS could maintain their grip on PCs, while catching up on tablets, phones, etc.

My understanding is that Microsoft wanted to create a market for app developers with no concern whatsoever for the users. However, the underlying OS is good and I think better than 7.

Microsoft operates a lot like the federal government.
