Microsoft's Windows Blue Brings Doomsday For Desktops


Indeed, with a Modern-flavored File Manager rumored to be in the cards, Microsoft seems keen to translate many legacy activities to its new touch-centered world. The changes can certainly be justified in the name of convenience but they will also wean users off the more familiar Explorer environment by encouraging them to conduct more of their business in the tablet UI.

In the first ever mention of ‘Blue’ word from Microsoft, it said in its official blog as "Product leaders across Microsoft are working together on plans to advance our devices and services, a set of plans referred to internally as ‘Blue.’”

There's a very good chance that Microsoft will kill the desktop with ‘Blue’. No more Task Manager. No more File Explorer. No more legacy compatibility. It'll be 100 percent Live Tiles, 100 percent of the time.
