Linux and the future of desktop

These days I have been reading articles and opinions in the net about the new Windows 8. Why? Because Windows 8 is the starting of the end of the desktop as we know it. Windows 8 is the first step in Microsoft roadmap to unify all the current platforms (Home computers, tablets and phones) into a single interface.

But using the same interface into so very different devices means you can only use the lowest common denominator of all of them, in this case, phones. And this also means you must use your desktop computer in the same way you use your phone.
