This entire idea that you can build an OS on a desktop, then port it to a mobile device, is a failure.

Whether they like it or not, a desktop computer and a mobile device serve different functions. Sure, some are the same, like email for instance.

But as far as powerful CPU speeds, memory, and high end display, a desktop is a desktop, a mobile device is a toy.

Exactly.

Recently, I had to buy a new laptop. I was out of town and my Vaio died. At the store, I was confronted by a myriad of new laptops. The salesperson showed me Windows 8. It looked like my smart phone.

I already have a smart phone. I already have a tablet.

I want a computer.

I bought one of only two laptops left in the store with Windows 7, and haven’t regretted my decision.
