There's no need for the animosity. I didn't mean it was only designed for touch screens, just that desktop features had been deprecated in favor of touchscreens. And that's true. Look at the hot corners you can't disable, or the Metro dialogs for settings. It's Victor Frankenstein's OS, not a desktop computer's.

You must understand that all of this may be frustrating to you, but it's not going away. Equally frustrating is seeing every conversation completely derailed by these complaints. Every article on HN about Windows 8, every article on Reddit, on Ars Technica, on CNet, on Engadget, and increasingly even in real life. It's a skipping record, and it hasn't stopped in over a year. If anything, it's just getting louder. You must understand the frustration in trying to have a serious conversation about a topic only to have loudmouth troublemakers constantly popping up and shouting over you. Do you Windows 8 haters really think if you keep repeating yourself but only louder this time that suddenly your whining will be taken seriously? Ask any 5 year old how well that works. It's been over a year. If you don't understand it, you never will. It's time to drop it.
