Same ol' same ol' Microsoft, customers say "we don't like XYB". Microsoft reply "let's add another manager for that job". The OS then degenerates into a bloated mess of files splattered about your hard drive with a million managers to handle it all. No libs folder on Windows, DLL' s all over the place instead. That documents folder that you thought was actually for documents ends up with game save files in it and so on, messy, messy, messy. With AmigaOS everything is so much tidier, we just don't need that level of management. All those Windows users asking for a "simpler" Windows, they are asking for a simplification of this mess, not another dumb manager. Why is it Microsoft doesn't understand that.

I don't really get the point of touch screen desktops, its just another form of repetitive strain injury.  How can anyone use one over an extended time is beyond me!


I guess it all comes down to usage. I do some things on my PC that touch screen just doesn't work well for (like typing this post) but my main PC usage is for art applications. Now, as a digital sketchbook the tablet is a wonderful tool and I could quite happily sit for hours without getting RSI. Will a tablet with added keyboard ever replace my desktop PC? It's only a matter of time I think.
