   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.
