Nonsense. If Metro fails, all it will prove is that Microsoft dropped the ball (again) - despite their decade-long head start in tablet PCs, and regardless of small but voluble groups of people on internet forums who claim with certainty that you can't do 'real' work on a tablet that doesn't have a 'PC' appendage
If you make hammers, everything looks like a nail - and MicroSoft sure keeps bang-bang-banging on that Tablet PC theme; maybe this time it'll work <shrug> but first they need to ship an actual working product that will perform functions people need (or want) at a price they're prepared to pay.
You have until 'the fall', and your time starts now...
