What exactly is WP missing now?

[Imaginer]

How many home users want to look at excel spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations on their phones?

Me?

I can sure whip out my Surface Pro 2 for looking at my OneNote notebooks. But at times, I would indeed be quicker to use the phone already in hand to access and then zoom and pan my writings.

The benefit of already using the Surface Pro 2 in hand, would be editing. If I need to add something on my current phone, it wouldn't be ideal. But I never liked using those small spiral bound paper notepads anyways or ever have them as part of my travel repertoire.

It amazes me how much more civilized these forums are than most/all of the others.

I learned a lot about the limitations of WP here. Some things I would not known otherwise because I do not use them myself. It will make it easier for me to give informed advices when people ask me.

To sum up, I still think that for really casual users (moms, dads, etc) WP might be a safer recommendation. Less chance for anything to go wrong, easier to navigate because of the big typography, more stable.
