So other than your "meh" comments because you don't like my phone or 360 ... we agree. Awesome!
I have to ask though ... why is a programmer getting direct calls from clients? You need a helpdesk/incident management team. Of course you might be doing that too. If so, good luck ... clients can be a whiney bunch.
I don't mind your phone, or your 360. They are no worse or better than they are. I DO mind changing something as ubiquitous as the desktop into something as limited as a phone/tablet interface.

Most of my programming is based around utilities for techs, and they are a direct expression of necessities in the field - I am first a tech, lest I lose my muse. :)
So yes, I am the help desk as well (probably primarily)... serving SOHO and Residential, and writing in my 'spare' time.
The impact of this new interface (on joe-user) is far more than you know, if one doesn't have the benefit of an educational staff and help desk. Throw in the fact that any software under the sun may be present, and the result is that you and I are on different planets... maybe even different planes of existence.
Believe me, this 'Metro' is doom to me - I can see it coming. There won't be a flurry of calls - it will be a blizzard.
