Where did you get the idea that this is a glorified code generator?

Maybe mobile developers do, but outside of that there are whole industries that are centered around Windows. I see a lot of workers using Windows on little devices now too. Just yesterday a guy came to my house to inspect our lease return vehicle. When he was done, he whipped out this tiny little laptop with a touch screen that I had to sign with a stylus (which worked perfectly). It was running Windows 8 and that was probably the tenth time I've seen something similar in the past year.

Bullshit. Windows is better than ever. More people use it than any other desktop OS. There are millions of IT departments around the world that would laugh and laugh and laugh if you suggested that they use OS X or Linux instead of Windows.
