Windows 8 Users, Help Me Understand Something
October 31st, 2012Windows 8 is meant to be used with a touchscreen. I haven’t seen any reviews that recommend Windows 8 for non-touchscreen users. The overwhelming opinion is that Windows 8 might be usable on traditional display, keyboard and mouse systems, given enough practice, but you’d be in for a shock if you think that your experience is going to be improved by doing this.
But, say, for example, that someone had a large touchscreen sitting on their desk in front of them. Is that person meant to extend their arms and touch the screen, Minority Report style, to control the computer?

Not one person who has voted ‘No’ in this poll has posted a comment or sent me an email to explain how Microsoft expects people with large screens to use Windows 8.
