more true progress ...
You read my mind on that one!
And with what we have now .. buttons on a taskbar on a real desktop .. if I want to close a program that's not the active window, I just right-click that program's button. There's the shortcut menu that has, lo and behold, '[X] Close.' I'm not chasing a pointer to a corner .. wait, was that the upper right or lower left or lower right with a slow crawl up the side or a clockwise swirl with the cursor in the middle? No, it must have been counter-clockwise. With the proper incantation, something is supposed to pop up where I can close a program!! What a waste of time and effort, not to mention playing havoc with productivity.
There is still nothing that Windows 8 has that will allow power users the ability to continue to be efficient and productive. If Microsoft wants to set up a Toy Division where you can play with blocks on touch screens and be 'social,' then have at it. Windows 8 will do just fine. There is nothing in the tablet version that allows real work to be done, either, and I still can't relate to ten hours of real work on one of those nice touch screens chasing a cursor.
Somebody mentioned the need for a keyboard that has 'charm keys.' Good gawd, how dumbed down are we going to get? Charms are those silly little things kids put on a bracelet .. not something befitting hardware or a professional operating system.
Thanks for the list, tho' ..
