Tried using it in a virtual machine, but was an endlessly frustrating experience in Windows 8 (Metro) UI.
It's like going from an iPhone to a Blackberry -- you want to touch the screen, but can't.

- astrodust 14y agoHey, some of the Blackberry phones are touch-screen! Of course there's almost zero in the way of hints to distinguish one from the other except if that nubbin is absent and the screen is the only option.

Both have the trackpad (RIM's replacement for the "nubbin").
- Splines 14y agoIf you're running under Hyper-V, Alt+Home is the same thing as pressing the start button. Otherwise it's highly impractical trying to hit the bottom left corner in a floating window. You can also turn off all animations in Windows, which may speed up things in a VM (or on an older desktop): Control Panel | Ease of Access | Optimize visual display | "Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)" = on | OK There's also the "adjust for better performance/appearance" radio buttons that do similar stuff that might help you.
