I recently purchased a new Windows 8 computer with a touch screen and its been a great experience so far. The touch screen makes navigation so easy and the new software is much snappier than Windows 7. I am always reading different articles where people don't like Windows 8 and I cant understand from what I have experienced so far. I firmly believe it was created for touch screens more than a non touch screen. I like the ability to pinch and zoom on any web site and make selections with my fingers. Great job Microsoft!
