bendyson Hi Steve! Interesting Session.
Are they any plans to "metro-fy" the user interface on the desktop, you're going from a clean modern style environments to the old desktop interface which receiving a bit of a face lift, I love the new improvements but there is a lot of design inconsistently in the desktop and while some apps have been metro-fied, the old Zune and Office 2013, other apps remain unchanged and a lot of stuff from older versions of the system?

headbonkAMZ So I was impressed by this session. I came back to my office and told my project manager that we need to focus on touch support since so many new Windows devices are coming out that have touch interfaces. My project manager didn't agree. He feels that touch is a niche feature.
Is there a source you can recommend that I could refer him to that would give some real numbers as to how many new devices support touch or expected size/growth?
