OK, I learned a lot from that vid and I'm convinced - for me W8 is totally
useless.  None of my gestures have any effect on my machines. 

Oh, he did say if I don't have touch screen I can plug in a mouse and a
keyboard and then...(wait for it)...IT'LL BE JUST LIKE WINDOWS 7! Woo-hoo!

Thank you Microsoft for putting Windows 8 on my new laptop.  With some
effort and learning curve I can enjoy all the advantages of W7.

P.S. Dear MS - that floaty little tool bar that comes out of the right side
of the touch screen.  It only takes me 5 or 6 tries to get it to appear on
my standard display using a mouse.  You're right, of course, I should be so
concerned about productivity.  Elegance of GI appearance is really the most
important thing in an OS. The distraction of the 'live' tiles is terrific.
I could spend all day looking at them.  
P.P.S.  Get the hell out of my face and let me do some work!
P.P.P.S.  I've got a gesture for you - Skype me and I'll show you.
