Disregarding whatever is happening with that metaphor -
All that's being put forth here: vertical touch has a different ergonomic profile, potentially a negative one, and it hasn't extensively been deployed in this industry until now.
The sole novel input scenario with Windows 8 and its first generation hardware is that it enables vertical touch. If nobody uses it at all, then it's just another laptop and no harm's done.
- dromidas 14y agoIt's not that nobody uses it. I was meaning more that 3rd party vendors are the ones responsible for making sure it is safe if they put it in designs that Microsoft didn't officially support. Unless the main author was intended it to be a PSA type thing to let consumers know that the more commonplace touchscreens will allow them to create ergonomic nightmares and that they should be as aware of it as they are of keyboard/mouse placement and chair height (In which case I agree whole heartedly.)
