To be fair, you could choose weather you wanted windows 8.
And the OS itself adds a lot to the table, such as cross platform applications, which we haven't really seen in computers and mobile devices.

But this update adds nothing and means nothing.

3DS --> Wii U
earlier PC models --> consoles and mobile devices

we have already seen cross-platform applications, you just want a reason to like Windows 8

@Puny

By computer I mean PCS, which again, we haven't seen before.

you just want a reason to hate Windows 8. Which, without a justified reason, is worse than liking it.

By "PCS", I'm assuming you mean "PCs", which, yes we have. Many Steam applications (along with many other services) are available with cross-platform applications. Take Portal 2, for example. You can play cross-platform multiplayer with someone on a PS3.

Where are you getting your facts from

...

I am talking about the entire operating system. Not one individual game. The entire operating system can be on multiple platforms, therefore you can download applications for MULTIPLE PLATFORMS, hence cross platform. Why is this a good thing? Well, it means that there is no need for you to port things from one platform to another, because whatever a developer makes for windows 8, will automatically work for someone who downloads it on a different platform. This makes developing apps for multiple platforms easier.

Why didn't they do something that did this before, rather than making their stupid Silverlight and .NET plugins

Why else would they make it the way they did then? Also, why did they RELEASE A RANGE OF TABLETS ALONGSIDE THE OS otherwise?

"Why else would they make it the way they did then? Also, why did they RELEASE A RANGE OF TABLETS ALONGSIDE THE OS otherwise?"

um, money. that's why Microsoft does everything they do.

do you remember the incident with Xbox Live Arcade and PSN a short while back? This is what one article said about it:

Downloadable games must ship on Xbox Live Arcade at least simultaneously with competing platforms or Microsoft may refuse to publish them, Eurogamer can reveal.

Microsoft also demands publishers release games with at least the same content "on-disc" across platforms.

Speaking to Eurogamer in a new interview, European Xbox boss Chris Lewis confirmed and defended the policy.

"We're a little biased, so obviously we're going to look to protect our own space as best we can and get exclusivity," he said.

"Whilst I can't be specific about the terms and conditions, you can be very confident we seek to maximise our own advantage to ensure the playing field is even, and certainly plays to our advantage wherever possible.

"As you can also imagine, our partners have to be mindful of the relationship they have with all platform holders, and they need to be equitable. But there are contractual situations where we get agreement with different people to do different things, and through what we have available on Xbox Live, we are able to offer things other people can't offer, that allows that exclusivity and unique elements to it that might not otherwise be available elsewhere."

Microsoft's Content Submission and Release Policy, seen by Eurogamer, details its third-party publisher guidelines.

"Titles for Xbox 360 must ship at least simultaneously with other video game platform, and must have at least feature and content parity on-disc with the other video game platform versions in all regions where the title is available," it reads.

"If these conditions are not met, Microsoft reserves the right to not allow the content to be released on Xbox 360."

This also applies to Xbox Live Arcade games. Other Online Content "must simultaneously release on Xbox Live Marketplace in all regions where the game is available". Any demo on Xbox Live Marketplace "must ship within the same week of its launch on other video game platforms or via magazines".

Sony's policy, however, appears to be more relaxed. Generally, games that launch on Xbox Live Arcade first eventually emerge on PSN. Limbo, Castlevania: Harmony of Despair and Lara Croft: Guardian of Light are just a few high-profile examples.

While Lewis refused to rule out the possibility of publishing downloadable games that launch on PSN first in the future, "I'd be surprised if we saw that as something we'd encourage," he said.

"But, honestly, and this is going to sound a bit contrived, we just want what our consumers want from us. We want to be where they want us to be. We want the quality bar of what they experience from us to continue to go up. I think it has to happen. Everybody's got to do that. If we want to continue to command healthy average selling prices, which we all do, that which we offer our consumers has got to keep getting better.

"Despite the fact it can be irksome to have such strong competition all the time, it actually does keep us on our toes. It's great for everyone, and it makes for a very healthy race to higher and higher levels of quality of game experiences."

Not all agree, however. One representative from a publisher who wished to remain anonymous told Eurogamer Microsoft's policy blocks developers from taking advantage of other platforms' strengths.

"Microsoft is suggesting that anything but parity will result in them not carrying a title. They may think this is competitive, but it's not. They are killing any creative exposure of titles to make up for their own platform's shortcomings."

Last year Eurogamer revealed that Summer of Arcade games must remain Xbox Live Arcade exclusive for at least four weeks.

Oh boo hoo, a business being a business. That is what they do. Every business on the planet does what they do ultimately for profits. It isn't a charity. They do it to make money. Everyone does. But it isn't about that. It is the reason as to how it will get them money, and to get them money, Microsoft merged their tablet OS and their PC os together. You have yet to answer my question however. Why did Microsoft merge their OSes together, if not for easier development across different platforms?

Also, I completely ignored that article, not only because it had nothing to do with windows 8, but also because you still haven't answered my question.
