When I saw Windows 7 I thought I knew where Microsoft was heading. I saw the new task bar with it's "finger friendly" buttons and thought to myself "MS is slowly integrating touch into their interface....makes sense.".
However between awesome Windows 7 and the mess that is Windows 8 something must have happened. Someone inside MS must have preaching that you can't simply make Windows touch friendly. They must have argued for a dedicated touch interface, one that would be made more powerful with each release so as to eventually phase out the "old" windows interface for good.
This approach I feel is wrong, and the disjointed effort in Windows 8 is demonstrating how confused it's making both "regular users" and tech pros alike.
I wish MS stayed focused on their traditional OS model and made Windows 7 even better with Win8. The "touch OS" from Microsoft could then have been born, and evolved on it's own without having to carry the burden of 3 decades of general computing.
It's awful when used on old hardware - just like vista.
It's sweet when ur using hardware that supports it fully. 1. Gesture aware trackpad 2. Touch screen
These are very important, without them, windows 8 will hell. i've been there, hated it until I got gesture sensitive mouse. I'm sure touch screen will do wonders.
It's not the touch that's the problem. I'm running Win8 on just about the newest hardware you can buy, and it's a user-experience hell.
The "metro" screen is neither the start menu, nor is it the desktop, nor is it the new OS itself. It's stuck in this artificial layer of existence that I can't even discern.
You could be getting downvotes for your grammar, which makes your point hard to understand. You do make a valid point that Windows 8 is better on hardware that was designed for the new input methods.
