1231435 2011-09-27 03:42:00 Not interested in windows 8, only can be used on tablets?!That may be your belief, but that is not what Microsoft want you do, and there are many people in this forum who have successfully used Win8 on the desktop - me included. Tony (4941)
1231436 2011-09-27 03:50:00 Also people have to remember - "The Windows Developer Preview is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers" so anything can happen before its at its final stages.

Things will change, and like all 'testing" versions, some features are not there yet, or have been disabled on purpose.

The general public only get to use the Beta & RC versions, where the developer in the past has been for the selected few.

One other thing to remember -- How many people actually have a touch screen monitor -- Not that many, so many of the new features cant be used as they were designed.

I have only spent about 5 minutes in total with WP7, I liked it. Its just a shame the updates and features aren't coming as fast as MS said
