You know, as much as I've railed against Win8, this really hasn't been my fundamental belief. Do you guys agree with it?
I don't think Microsoft went touch first to try to fuel their app store sales. Given the small size of it to start and the poor reception I don't think they are that dumb.
I think they are so wowwed that they could do it that they never considered if they should. Different kind of stupid I guess. But built on passion rather than forced sales.
