You sound like a “progressive”. A Microsoft-funded progressive.

So, what system or OS should I be supporting or liking, in order to sound like a conservative or a republican?

You don't sound like a conservative. You sound like an idiot.

This is why we should all strive to keep the name-calling out of these tech threads. Once it starts, it rarely gets better.

We need to remember that it is always better to comment on the tech itself, rather than make generalizations about the users of said tech.

I could say that the new interface appears to me to be rather infantile. I wouldn't say that only infantile people would use it. Flame the tech, not the user.

How so?

I realize you have a CYA word in your comment, like "could", which would make it "not a definite" on your side, but, perhaps that is how you feel. So, what part of the interface makes it "infantile"? Remember that, all kinds of tech savvy people like to point at how simple Apple makes things by taking the thinking out of the hands and minds of it gadget customers, so, why would making things "simple" to use be "infantile" instead of simple or user-friendly?

And that's why it'll do well with the "dumbed-down" young-and-modern crowd Microsoft is aiming this tablet at.

This is not an interface for business professionals, much less computer tech types.

This is an interface for kids, and by that I include up to about age 30.

Personally I hate it on a desktop or laptop. But on a tablet it has a decent chance of success precisely because it is infantile.
