Bill gates himself opposed it. Anyway I really don't know what they're going to do about the app situation. Windows Phone owners are going to have to pray the "universal apps" thing works, otherwise the platform is doomed.

That is actually my main gripe with newer Windows. At work I still use W7, from the era when PCs used to have programs instead of apps. Click on Calculator and it opens. Now on W8, with apps, you click on Calculator and it goes into a 3-minute dance routine until it eventually opens. 

But that's another topic in itself.
