Good.

Touch is the future, but Touch PC's have failed due to a lack of OS. Here we have an OS capable of Touch. Now we need the PC's.

And with the rise of RSI

Hopefully will allow user to upgrade without creating a Microsoft account

I wonder whether it will also push the user to a desktop executable or something. Presumably this upgrade will be a few hundred MB in size, I am not sure how well the app store would deal with that (as it currently is).

People of little faith on here!

Are they? it is good if they are, but it is not games I am interested in.

That's a shame!

video editing is more my game, LOL. i mucked about with Kdenlive and seems to be the best one, but it is not a Vegas by a long way.

I know it is free, but i don't mind paying if it is good.

Yey! Microsoft confirmed it will be free and available through the App Store...

so do that mean people have to have a MS account? some apps can be downloaded from the app shop with out a MS account, but I bet this update will require one. that is a way for MS to get people to sign up


i got a MS account, well a old hotmail account, but I am getting rid of it soon, I don't use it now Messenger is gone.

Touch maybe is the future for tablet type machines, but not for home use to be honest. Try typing on a touch screen for a long time and you will realise why.

The future is voice recognition, but that will still be many years before it becomes the norm. Saying that I know someone who uses Dragon and it is amazing, never loses a word.

i just put about a MS account, I did not see your post. My windows 8 machine don't even have access to the Metro ui, as i use some software to knock it out, not just hide it, but knock it out.

I was using my voice recognition dictation tonight. Still in training, but it's not bad. I'll take a guess that the future will be retina focus eye piece type technology, akin to aircraft targeting systems, coupled with voice. Look at the app/menu/item and give the command.

That may be in a far off future, but for now the future is touch, as shown by the iPad etc.
