Reply To: What OS do you use to run Podium? (2012)

I suppose that design philosophy was because the iPad, for better or worse, redefined what the public see a ‘tablet’ PC as meant to be doing. There’s no doubt that Windows 8 is being designed for Tablet PCs from the ground up (ARM compatible code, Metro UI, etc.). The problem is that the average joe will see a tablet PC looking like a desktop PC and in all likelyhood not understand why it doesn’t act like an iPad does.

It’s a shame, really. In my head, I like to think of it more as a parallel release to 7 designed specifically for tablets (because then it annoys me less, haha!)
