I look forward to the forthcoming Metro version of Cygwin! Bash in a
live tile?
Microsoft's strangely desperate-seeming attempts to force desktop and
laptop users away from the desktop metaphor GUI to a mobile-centric UI
that is wholly unsuitable for desktops and laptops (and unsuitable for
local admin of servers for that matter) is bizarre. I can't think it
will do the company any good.
Why won't they just accept that one UI does not fit all form factors?
