PC and Tablets are not the same!

What is the biggest difference between the PC operating system and Tablet/Smart Phone operating system? When you know that, you understand why running Tablet OS on PC is not a good idea.

The biggest difference between PC and Tablets is the screen size. PC have evolved to open multiple application programs and display them on the screen at the same time allowing users move between the application programs. That is the biggest advantage of Windows and Macintish and X Window on Unix operating system. But because of smaller screens you find on the tablets and smart phones, the application programs are design to run using full screen. To switch application programs on tables, you need to close, although the application is still running, the application.

Unfortunately, Windows' new interface, often called metro interface, treats PC like a tablet or smart phone. You cannot open and display multiple application like standard Windows application. That is why I think the current Windows operating system is not very productive. Fortunately, you can choose not to use metro interface. But I don't think metro should even be there on PC. That is my opinion.
