I keep hearing this, while using 8 on a desktop, and never having an issue with any of these so-called touch features.

People seem to use games on the internet with a mouse and keyboard with no issue. People can use a multitude of websites too.

What exactly are these UI element that are impossible to use with a mouse and keyboard?

When you make a post on FR, there is nothing there that is made for a mouse and keyboard. All of the buttons and input boxes are huge, and half of the screen is blank. But for some reason if this was a Metro app, the thinking is that it is impossible to use on a desktop and is an abomination in usage.

My new desktop doesn’t have touch so Metro is a pain to use. I especially don’t like the fact that when you open something in Metro there is no option to close the window. You have to return to your tile screen point to the left corner of the screen with your mouse, open a mini window, right click then choose close. What happened to the “X” button?

What I do is keep it in desktop or classic view. I downloaded Firefox (IE 10 is garbage btw). FR hasn’t changed for me, at least not in desktop view.
