I think alot of people dont understand what this actually means and the op didnt cite a good article in the first place.

1- no one said the GUI for each os will be the same (they migt be, but i think desktop will be more traditional)

2-whatbthis means is a unification of the kernals, different UI's sharing the same kernal - one set of api's.

If this suceeds and it is done well, this will be amazing, programing will no longer have to be done in multiple segments for multiple OSes the only facture will be the platform and what you want it to look like on there. Having a shared library where you can add multiple UIs for the same application making it function exactly the same across all platforms but looking different depending on what you use it on.

 

I think alot of people are just going to hate no matter what microsoft does and alot more dont research and look around and just cry out in ignorance.

 

I think this might explain it better, not sure tldr: www.citeworld.com/article/2158661/development/one-windows-to-rule-them-all-its-coming-but-not-overnight.html

I think the problem is that with W8, they basically had all these different kernels with unified gui's which makes little to know sense

I hope they do not do a tradictional desktop, rather a desktop that is actually improved possibly even revolutionary. Tiles on the desktop would be amazing.

I'd rather be worried, skeptical, and pleaseantly suprised as I was with Word 2013, a program that I believe to be one of the best in history, and the best word processor in existence

Than be hopeful, faithful, and horribly dissapointed as I was with Windows 8, an OS that I believe to be a weak installment, better than vista, and only marginally better than XP, better than 7 only on an anemic rigLike an XB1 im kidding, a sucess in composition and form, but a failure in design concerning the end user.

yes, i agree. I am not going to get my hopes up. I just think alot of people here didnt understand this in the slightest. unifying the kernals is a step in the right direction, i just would like to see if they can get my wallet out and buying their next installment.
