A problem that imo doesn't exist. A tablet is different to a phone is different to a desktop computer. This OS may be "solving" some problems, but it seems to be doing it at a cost, reducing functionality on the desktop. Besides, who even /has/ a windows phone or tablet? Who would want one?

Apple might disagree with you... There is a trend where OSX is getting slowly but steadily closer to iOS.

"reducing functionality on the desktop."

That's a pretty bold claim when the desktop still exists exactly like it did in Windows 7. Basically you're saying that all of the functionality of Windows came from having a start menu that is a couple inches tall and a couple inches wide, and by increasing that space it is now less functional. Listen to yourself, seriously.

"Besides, who even /has/ a windows phone or tablet? Who would want one?"

Millions. And to answer the second question, millions.
