I was specifically responding to your final paragraph and only left
the rest in for context. If your "hole point" (sic) wasn't captured by
that paragraph, then I indeed missed it.
In case I need to spell it out, Win 8 *doesn't* assume that you're
using a touch screen, at least not in the way that I think you mean
it.
