Your smiley noted.

I use my Surface Pro when I'm watching TV from the recliner.  The size and layout is very good for that.  My MBPr is mostly a desktop replacement as the 13" size is too big for real lap use in the recliner, I know I've tried.

As to how Windows 8 looks, well it is one hell of a lot better looking than Yosemite imo.  Real contrast, real color instead of pale to washed out as Yosemite wants to present.  And lines and fonts that are actually readable.

The overall flatness of Yosemite isn't a concern.  I'm not fond of it, but it isn't enough to make me get all a dither about it.
