I am not against new things in the operating system. In fact I was using

I gladly upgraded to XP as it was based on part of the code that made
OS/2 far superior and stable.

However, why should I get excited about upgrading to a system that
assumes I am using a touch screen on my computer?

That explains a lot about your attitude. You seem to have completely
ignored the multiple mentions of being able to avoid the modern UI and
using a standard desktop.


Blinded by your opinion, you missed the hole point of what I wrote

I was specifically responding to your final paragraph and only left
the rest in for context. If your "hole point" (sic) wasn't captured by
that paragraph, then I indeed missed it.

In case I need to spell it out, Win 8 *doesn't* assume that you're
using a touch screen, at least not in the way that I think you mean
it.
