I agree josh, I think there will be keyboards even if they have to be external.
They may be flatter or something but I garentee that the board will
still exist though they may be touch or probably button style buttons
and not push in keys.
One thing that has not been covered here is voice recognition, and my
brother who has rsi uses it for just about everything in his life as
without it he wouldn't be able to use a computer for long periods
without his hands aking.
For the blind, who do need keyboards though we can use touch for
somethings who knows.
Not all touch apps are accessable right now and there are a lot more
keyboard stuff than touch but that may change.

try typing a paper on a touch screen for college or writing reports.
it won't work and will frustrate you because typing on touch screen is slow.

I agree josh, I had to do for a customer a general cleanout of
windows and update and install of some major systems.
I also had to run a couple clearout programs which I did overnight.
I did not like win8, and while I was able with a bit of help get
win 8.1 up, I worked through the night to get the system ready for
a morning pickup,, because although I could have kept it for a wek
or 2 win 8 really didn't settle with me and I wanted to get it out
of the door asap!
My cousin has had issues with his net and whenever that happens,
and he can not log in he has no system access till he can get the
networking which is why I really don't like the idea of an net
account as my primary login without a fallback.
that and the fact that after all the stories on us cert, about nas
storage hacks, ssl3 hacks and online cloud hacks that I could be
online unnecessarily.
On this 7 box while I am online, I don't need to login to be
online, in fact I can be offline full stop!
if I do get this win8 or 10 or whatever I get next, then when I
make the system go I will make sure that I turn off my router
before installing for the first time.
It seems the easiest way to get round making an ms account.
i also don't like all my info just sitting there for any person to
access and me not being in control.
in 7 at least I can shut everything off delete all ms live files
and say I don't want to be online.
When I do all my payed work and other things, no drop box, no bt
sync, no messenger no mail, nothing, when my nose hits that
grindstone I don't want distractions at all!
And that will include live tiles, its probable that I will end up
with something like classic shell with win7 or xp start menu loaded
and whatever classic adjustments I can get with a local account
though I will be missing out on a lot of store features and metro
apps its not like I hav needed them up to now, and I have used a
desktop for the last 20 years this way though I can see the
potentual for the newer people that start its the same with the
iphone, etc, I have never used a tablet so don't know what I am
missing,. and since I have inherited another phone as long as I can
spend the large load of cash on talks its probably what I will end
up doing though I have used a tablet once and can see why people like it.
Its all what you grow up with and I am sure if i was born now, that
I'd think the keyboard a bunch of crap and that I like touch,
however I was round when it was all keyboards and touch devices are
as forign to me as aliens and I have no need to actually use one
right now, maybe that will change.

I don't or i should say I did not like windows8.1 at all when I
had it on this computer, because it would not run my windows xp
virtual machine at all. it ran but audio was slow and it was buggy
as ever. audio was so choppy it was completely unuseable. so I
went back to windows7. now everything works better. microsoft
better listen to their customers or I'll switch over to ubuntu
linux and run windows xp in a vm on there.

well I don't think they can just stop producing 7 just like that,
all the boxes we have are on 7, and while there is a market for
it pc manufacturers will still release drivers till at least
support for updates ends.
thats not for another 5 years.
Even if ms stops drivver library support most drivers for ms are
generic ones anyway.
As well as this because of the 8x disaster ms really needs to
make sure that their new os works this time, right now it looks
ok but there is always a chance to wreck it later.
To be honest if xp didn't drop outside support I'd continue using
it and now it appears they are trying to make vertuals with xp
not work in 8 and up put it this way I have no desire to even
think of upgrading.

Hi josh sir!

because now microsoft will not provide drivers and other things.
The company want to end the technical support.
Thanks
