This article makes the case for Windows 8 pretty well I think.

But what kind of apps to start writing?  Whenever I look at other people's
top 10 app lists, I'd rather slit my wrists than spend my non-working days
using all but 3 or 4, and those 3 or 4, everyone already has.  And usually
work just fine over the web.

I suspect that the whole concept of "personal apps" is flawed.  They are
just a novelty, and may already already be going obsolete.
