Have yet to see a mention about ergonomics and 8?
With what little I have seen so far, Windows 8 sure looks like Windows 3.11 and AOL of old.

My main machine is a Laptop and most of my navigation is from the Trackpad and Shortcut Keystrokes. In the last 3 years have probably spent a total of less than 8 hours at a Desktop.

All the pinching and double tapping on the screen looks real painful to me, personally. This was a result of poor design of a prior employer's workstations that affected myself and many more. Workers Comp. covered the treatment and timeloss for us all. It also is continuing to supply me with machines on a regular basis, that do not aggravate my condition.

How about an article on the different many different medical problems that can develop, such as - Tendonitis's that can develop [de Quervain's Tendonitis for one], not to mention the old standby, Carpal Tunnel, Rotator Cuff problems, and how technology is not making things better for us.

Watching the slides, videos and reading the articles on 8, I cannot recall seeing anything on this subject.

So what new medical/physical problems will Windows 8 bring us?
