Isn't this basically the strategy as the old Windows 8 on ARM? Ditch all legacy stuff, no backward compatibility... why would this succeed where Win8 on ARM failed?

Windows RT; Store apps only with Microsoft Office tablet version preloaded. Not sure what happened to it.

Nobody liked it because of the restriction to Store apps meant a real shortage of software. It would be like having a Chromebook that ran IE.
