I have read several articles saying that Microsoft is rethinking Windows 8 and plans on a new release called "Windows Blue" later this year. It will address issues that desktop users have with its "designed for touch" features. They might have more appropriately named the new OS "Windows Blew" : ) I found that one has less issues with Windows 8 if they think of their desktop as just a huge smartphone. http://techland.time.com/2013/05/10/windows-blue-preview-coming-next-month/ Richard Sent from my iPhone
