[dba-Tech] Windows 8: Not!

My average users has enough difficulty with point and click.  

There's no way they are going to use "30 Hotkeys", "50 or 100 keyboard shortcuts" or "touch 
and mouse gestures".

Most of them still don't get the notion of a context sensitve right click menu.  (and they have 
no idea what that little wheel does)   :-(

Tell them there could be many active sub-channels activated and  working in background, teach them to use [WindowsKey] + [Tab] to get the list of active sub-channels and to switch between them...
