It depends on the desktop man. And windows 8 works well with mouse and keyboard, and trackpad too, but the trackpad needs to be a good one, and not a crap one.

The context menus showing up at the bottom of the screen when right clicking is just one example of the insanity. It's hard to comprehend the stupidity of it. But they will change it so it's fine.

They could do it like it was done on every OS since 30 years or so. By having a context menu. There's even a dedicated button on the standard Windows keyboard layout for it. If you change something basic like that, better make sure it's better afterwards.

I don't say the solution is bad on a tablet, then it's great, but for a mouse user it's just terrible.

But again, Microsoft has come to its senses and agrees, they want to change it. Context menu when using a mouse, the bottom screen solution for touch devices.

I have started my day cultures, and now I have a little time to reflect on my life.

@unstoppablekem:

Thanks for the link!! Not sure how these awards are dolled out- can't be by post count, B.P. and Sahib are 2/3 of the traffic on WPC- but it is kinda cool. I can go tell my wife I have been awarded a shout out, and get the special parking spot in front of WPCHQ, which is right next door to the Justice League offices.

And congrats to you!! Being the ambassador of the month HAS to carry some serious juice with it. Like, you get to pick the music that gets played in the WPCHQ elevators.

You truly deserve it, buddy.

While those of us who like W8 may defend it, sales show Windows 7 users just weren't ready for such a radical change. And it was a silly decision. Moving to a tile format was fine, but laptops/PCs are not mobile devices. And the sales of Laptop/PC's still far, FAR outsell tablets. Like, to the tune of 5-1 almost in 2013. Keeping Windows 8 mouse friendly was so important.

I am glad they are backtracking a little. Get more people to use Windows 8, get them used to it. That is vital to the ecosystem they are trying to build.
