One of the major lacking features in the newest Office: no Metro applications. In fact, the only reason Windows RT has a desktop at all is because the Office team was unable to create Metro applications in time for the release of Windows RT. I often thought this was a classic case of two important divisions within Microsoft not getting along and not being aligned, but now that I have my own Surface RT, I'm starting to realise that there's a far simpler, and thus more likely, explanation: Metro is simply not ready for anything serious - or for anything at all, really.

Why a Mac Mini and not an iMac? That would be even less stuff on your desk.
At work I'm trying to get as minimalistic as possible. I even created a WiFi network just for my iMac so I don't need a network cable. There is only one cable now, the power cable. Keyboard and trackpad are wireless.
We are switching to Microsoft Lync, then I can also get rid of my desk phone. That's the only object apart from the computer, keyboard and trackpad on my desk.
I have the cleanest desk of the entire company. Ironically the guy with the messiest desk sits across me.

My G3 desktop is too large now to fit in to my more minimalistic computing area. I have a MacMini as the primary desktop, then everything else is either Windows or Mac laptops. I might dig up the Wallstreet though, as though it is stupidly large by today's standards, it's still a pretty cool machine. The battery still held a charge too last time I used it.
