The windows 8 app is half-assed though. Funny they push things so hard for one platform while ignoring the other. And mind you, windows 8 provides a better experience any day and will provide them with better benefits in the long run.
Windows 8 providing a better experience is pretty subjective as I don't think it does.
Maybe. I like how everything is beautifully colored and runs full-screen. Actually, even my laptop "looks" beautiful when the start-screen is on, the tiles add some beauty, definitely. Clean and crisp.
