Everyone says Win8 is supposed to be great on tablets. It's not. It's actually significantly worse than windows 7.
Issues:
Two finger right click removed-In 7, right clicking on a touchscreen was an instant two finger tap. Now it's a 2- second hold.
Touch flicks removed-Actually useful touch gestures
No start button-A hot corner is fine for the mouse, but it takes swipe-wait-tap to open the start menu on a tablet.
OSK popover removed-no more popover when selecting a text field
OSK Not resizable
Javascript "apps" destroy my "weak" processor-I can't run cut the rope smoothly on win8, while it runs smoothly on those atom phones and on those really cheap android tabs.
