He did misread me...
And you got it right, Palmie. Thanks for the correction.
Although Windows gestures are *not* intuitive. Touch gestures are more intuitive on Android and iOS. They're more *powerful* on Windows 8.
Want to split the screen in Modern UI? Pull down from the top, then move to the left or the right UNTIL the minimized image of your current app becomes outlined, then release, and it will snap to a split screen grid. This is COMPLEX... but powerful.
Want to use a gesture to "alt-tab" through your apps? *Flick* (not swipe), from the very left edge of your display. Want to bring up a LIST of your running apps? Flick from the left edge, but then reverse BACK to the edge of the display with your gesture.
Complex, non-intuitive - you'll need to be shown it, or read it, and you'll have to practice it. But once you *master* it, you'll like it.
A 2 year old or chimp is not going to pick up a Windows 8 tablet and instantly master it. I don't think this is necessarily a BAD thing. It probably means that iOS will remain very popular among college students.
