Yes, I read this nonsense and had to laugh. A few days ago I ordered two Windows 8 high powered HP all-in-one touch screen PCs, one for my wife and one for me. They will replace two 6 and 7 year old PCs running Windows XP.
I know it will be a challenge as not only will we have to acclimate ourselves to an entirely new operating system, but also an entirely new interface of Microsoft Office having to migrate from Office 2003 to Office 2010.
We also plan to purchase a couple of tablets later this year to replace the netbook we use when traveling. While the netbook is OK for travel, no way would I ever want to be limited to the netbook for my daily use.
For anyone who uses a desktop to manage business or personal affairs, it would seem absurd to attempt to handle that type of work via a tablet. All I can say is, “You have got to be kidding me.” Why would I ever want to consider viewing internet pages throughout the day on a small tablet or smart phone when I can have a beautiful wide screen with a full-sized keyboard and a mouse. Plus, I now will have the benefit of a touch screen.
Need a REAL keyboard so you don’t have to look at the keys to type. And use all your fingers.
When I see people pecking/poking at the ipad screen keyboard I cringe. I don’t have the patience for that.
