Gazz9496 - I hear you on production. You probably know about it more than I ever will. I don't own a company with lets say...1,000 employees as an example. But if I did and had the capital to do so, I would take 1,000 non-touch monitors and 1,000 mice and sell them, donate them to charity & write it off, or throw them in the trash, because to me their non-productive. Then I would buy 1,000 touch monitors and forget the mice to use touch monitors. Then as the #1 Metro tile on all my employees' Metro start page I would have it linked to a doc file with all the shortcut keys listed in it. Then tell them to open it and learn it. I don't think it would take but a few days. If they're too stupid to learn them, then I would fire them to replace them with someone who can. The next tile would be the Help. It opens to basically what's new in 8. Just as it did in all previous OSs. I would instruct them to learn it, including the touch screen. If they're too stupid to learn it, then I would fire them to replace them with someone who can. I would do this to any tradesman I hire that's too stupid to learn, for we are all learning something new every day. If I don't keep up with new building products, tools, building methods, and management, I am doomed!
ok lets look at the actual facts of touch screen here, the cost for a reliable stable and high quality touch monitor are far to high for most company's to even consider, then there is the position of the monitor comparative to the user it will need to be closer increasing eye strain in the work place....wouldn't pass a risk assessment survey, then there is the continued strain on the arms to keep them extended and upright which again no company in their right mind would consider a viable risk to take. The liability of such cases that would come to light would just scare the hell out of buisness owners across the world.
so now how are you going to deploy touch screen? not being funny here but until we have the work stations on the starship enterprise and the space to fully realise and the money within company's willing to invest in such ventures touch is dead on desktops.
home users will find the same problems, awkward sitting position, pain in the arms from extended elevation and out of pocket due to the high cost of a touch screen at a desent quality levels where touching the monitor doesn't cause it to wobble or move around.
