I haven't seen this brought up here before so I thought I would post and ask about it. If it has been brought up in the past I apologize!

Ubuntu has released concepts of their eco-system and how it all works together. The point I wanted to talk about here is how the larger devices(desktop and tablets) can run the phone size apps in a side bar. I'm not sure if it's when it's paired with a phone or not, but it can definitely run the apps. You can see what I'm talking about here, at the bottom of the page.

My questions is, would something like this be a wanted feature on Windows 8, more specifically RT?

I personally think it would be pretty cool to be able to boot up my Windows 8 machine and run a Windows Phone app in a sidebar alongside my desktop apps. What say the rest of you?
