What Is The Point
I do not understand the point of Windows 8. I can understand the sales pitch for increased security. But I cannot understand a tablet-touch paradigm on a vertical monitor. I am creative and require fast data entry and precision pointing. I am not into finger-painting nor am I into drag-and-drop interconnectedness and messaging between applications. I am still struggling with cloud security and availability issues where vendors use unilateral contracts and you have the right to complain and get you last month's fee rebated for a catastrophic loss of your work.
So I would appreciate some advice as to why I would abandon a functional desktop with icons for a display of large message-enabled mini-windows? Is this a superior revolutionary operating system or an evolutionary operating system designed to put a touch-interface on an oldie-but-goodie and call it a win-mac? HELP. I do not understand.
