This modal approach is what Microsoft pursued without understanding what makes a good Motorbike … that is why UWP totally failed due to friction/entropy! Full of side effects … weight.Putting an iPad against a Laptop is similar to putting a Motorbike against a Car. Meaning this aren't just modes that bare no weight. Isn't this great? In abstract yes, but in practice you want to ride the Car the Motorbike would be extra load that constrains you, if you want to ride a a Motorbike, the Car is extra load. Neither its desirable.Why would you want to turn a Car into a Motorbike and vice versa (Car Mode, Motorbike Mode) ? You see, either way there is entropy, you would still have a Car and a Motorbike at a given moment. In particular it does not mean that they are capable or will be capable by design to cover the same spectrum of things that people want todo. Indeed this speed is not a sign that Motorbikes may replace Cars ar all. The only thing each have in common is the feature of taking something from point A to point B.If you think in this terms you will see that its not due to artifice that motorbikes can be faster than many cars, even a truck or Airplane when transporting something from point A to point B. And take this mapping: iPad – MotorbikeLaptop – Car & CaravanDesktop – TruckWorkstations PC – AirplaneInstead of thinking each as computing devices trying to do the same thing in the same contexts. To simplify, take a look at three of them: motorbikes, cars & caravans, trucks. In fact, you find that each does not replace the other in practice. Yet, its is not what they have in common that defines them as replaceable. Well that is why they are called motor vehicles. They all share some commonalities and play with the same laws of physics and motion. In each of these categories there are subcategories. In the second you have different categories like, electrical bicycles, motorbikes, cars, caravans, trucks, bus, airplanes. Try and think about this by paralleling the context of computing devices with the context of motor vehicles. I think its time for you to put irreverence aside, the same kind of irreverence that Windows "knows" and "does" it all and cheaper and actually have a deep look at the problem domain. In reply to dontbeevil:It is funny because you have been missing the point in the last 10 years.
