M$'$ strategy is clear to me: they intend to follow Apple in restricting their ecosystems.
Instead of being able to install whatever application you want from whoever develops it (even if it is your own garbage)... M$ want a 30% cut on apps. they have approved and you the customer have no other choice.
ZDNET bloggers will try to persuade you that a modern smartphone or a tablet is not a PC ... but it is a computer (just as a PC was always a computer) and it is for your personal use ... and if you listen to them you will be brainwashed into switching from a PC of the 1990/2000's - where you could do what you wanted - into a so-called 'walled garden'.
Rebel .. or lose your freedom.
