The Associated Press Posted: Jun 26, 2013

a couple of excerpts I'm concerned about...

Quote:

Microsoft has released an update to Windows 8, aiming to address some of the gripes people have with the latest version of the company's flagship operating system.

Quote:

Windows 8 was also supposed to make Microsoft more competitive in the growing market for tablet computers. But Windows tablets had less than a 4 percent market share in the first quarter, compared with 57 percent for Android and 40 percent for Apple's iPad.

Quote:

Microsoft is addressing that shift by banking its future on touch controls.

keyboard and mouse now on endangered list

this is the start(?) to how I get a computer like Tony Stark's!??
Of course, MOST of the hardware I have for computing is not compatible with touch, gesture and verbal commands.

Flashes of LP's ,reel to reel, 8-tracks and cassettes...

had/have them all......loved them all........

when we were young we couldn't wait for the next technology.....now it's just annoying as hell

;)

With Google and their "foresight" pushing the direction of many of the newer technologies, I can only see Microsoft continuing to lag behind and playing "catch up".

If Google Glass can live up to it's hype...keyboard, mouse and monitor/tablet could all be obsolete soon...

Just got rid of my under dash 8-track player when cleaning out my storage unit this week.
