Microsoft's new-style "Metro" Windows 8 apps were supposed to draw people to the operating system in droves, but the exact opposite is happening. Just-published research shows that 60% of users don't bother to launch even a single Metro app a day.

At this point, people simply don't care about touch, even when they buy devices like touch-enabled laptops and tablets that are designed for touch.
