It is TOTALLY true. Stop listening to your guy. He is telling you, you don't have to DEVELOP for one interface or the other. But you have to USE both.

The Start button in the "desktop" interface has been replaced with a context switch that pops you into the "tablet" interface. You cannot avoid it. You are forced into it. You have to use the tablet interface with your mouse. All Control Panel items are in the tablet interface...

And it blows. There is mandatory horizontal scrolling... great for tablets, shitty for desktops and mice. And particularly shitty for laptops and touchpads. Fucking Christ.

Ah great, it's caught up to Linux of ten years ago.

So boot it, give it a try, and come running back here screaming. I double dawg dare ya.
