Microsoft has always had this dream that "one unified experience" is automatically the best answer. It's facile thinking. If they ran a restaurant they'd be trying to make a plate/bowl hybrid with a spork holder. So unified!

I think MS is conflating unified with Apple's end-to-end approach. You can have a great end to end experience with two completely different UI. The key take away is interoperability, not looking the same.

I'm glad MS is building OSes.

Imagine if they built cars; the brake pedal would be next to the brake lights.
