Every UI from now on needs to be touch friendly by @newz2000

For a little over a month I’ve been experimenting with Windows 8. The first thing you see once the OS is installed is a guide explaining how to use the new interface. As someone who has not used Windows much in recent years, I personally found it easy to learn and adjust to. However, from the very first moment the guide begins, it is clear that touch is an important part of the operating system.

As the Christmas buying season has begun I’ve seen in the advertisements that many Windows 8 computers, both laptops and desktops, have touch screens. There is a bit of a price premium for this feature so a small majority don’t have it. However I expect this to become an extremely common feature on Windows computers in the coming months and I predict Apple will be announcing touch screens on it’s computers soon, too.
