"Microsoft's design philosophy, which is that the user should have lots of options and be made constantly aware of what is happening on the computer, does not work well in a compact, mobile environment."
Is the concept of user awareness unreasonable for mobile devices or is it just the metaphor or concept Microsoft uses, that is broken?
I think there's nothing wrong with transparency / letting the users know what happens, but the whole idea to port something, that was thougt to mimic a desktop 35 years ago, to tiny screens with minimal interface devices, seems just ridiculous. When was the last time you had a desktop your pocket?
