At least that's the way I see it.Maybe that is the new world for some people - being able to do everything from everywhere via the cloud. But I am not part of that world and I would suspect neither are most of the PC users.
This is where we would disagree. Me and you "might" not need this, but I do firmly believe most would welcome it. How else would you explain the success of the iPad, and tablets in general? Now you have the opportunity to easily access your desktop from any device anywhere. Yes, lots of folks would welcome that (me included).
When I am 'on the road', I am on vacation. And there I don't want to be bothered. That's one reason why I don't have a cell phone. But I do have a little Nexus 7 tablet. That I use for navigation and planning the excursions of the next day, the occasional phone call to make a reservation at the next hotel (I like to talk to real people and make sure my reservation requirements are understood. That is also one reason I only choose small hotels and not some of those mega chains). Else I use the tablet for some entertainement. But that's about all. I don't even check my mails. Those can wait until I am back home.
That's how you and I may see it; And Pieper makes a good argument about Leisure and Culture, and how we have become a slave to work, but that's a debate for another time :)
Anyway people still want to be able to access stuff and having the expanded opportunity to do so is a good thing. In short, just because I'm on vacation doesn't mean my mobile devices are. In fact, they may become even more useful now that I've got some leisure time
This new world is for a small segment of the active business people and they should have a convenient option to do their thing. But that is not enough reason to ruin the OS for the PC for the majority of the users.
True, but today's society sees it differently, and they want the convenience of mobile. Microsoft is just trying to fill a niche. They just seem to have gone so far as to upset the desktop community.
Hopefully this gets fixed, but don't expect them to abandon the mobile market ship
