It's for apparatus with touchscreen and an attempt to integrate them all. Apple is going the same route. Eventually all the 'smart' devices will know and design to your app's or TV viewing habits. For example, you'll start to watch some program on a phone device and finish it when home on the TV. If one has a touch / tab hybrid PC, probably a great improvement. Otherwise, not.
What I find interesting is how Microsoft is forcing the product to move. They've priced the OS lower and PC manufacturers now offer far lower priced machine's then older or those with Win 7 OS. Since I'm shopping for new notebooks, those with Win 7 are generally priced higher and yet being snapped up. I fall in that catagory as Win 7 with Pro or Ultimate gives the flexibility of running 64 bit and older 32 bit programs plus you can run XPVM (virtual machine). I'm getting machines with Win 7 home prem and paying for the Pro or Ultimate upgrades. But well worth it as it saves me thousands of dollars vs. buying new CAD or Adobe programs, etc.. No way will Windows 8 do it for me.
