>retreat from a universal touch-and-pointer UI in Windows 8
Huh? What? Doesn't everything bit of hardware Microsoft sells have a touchscreen? Windows 10 has solid touchscreen support. Why are we talking about Windows 8 or a retreat?
- neogodless 6y agoWindows 8 was launched with a primary touch interface that emerged after closing apps, even if they were "desktop" apps. 8.1 retreated somewhat but Windows 10 went even further back to the default point-and-click Start Menu interface, while retaining touch elements like tiles, and introducing some other touch-friendly changes. Compared to 8 at launch it's much friendlier to the mouse and keyboard users.
