Maybe it's not obvious to the designers at MS, but the ideal touch screen interface just isn't the same as the ideal mouse and keyboard interface. Sure, put both modes in the same OS, just let us default to something that makes sense for the desktop on the desktop. There is no need for the start menu to be full screen, and there is no need to boot to a touchscreen interface. That's all there is to it. Windows 8 isn't that bad. That is, it doesn't get in my way to an unacceptable degree. It's just that none of the visible additions are helpful versus Windows 7.
