Snabbtitt på Windows 8.1

Jag hamnar på förstasidan av Windows Store när jag klicka på "Uppdatera nu". Kör vanliga Windows 8 och har testat wsreset.exe utan att det hjälpt. Någon annan som fortfarande har samma problem?

Det där låter bara dumt. Jag sa inte att pekskärmar i sig är dåligt, utan mer specifikt när det gäller
stationära datorer (och ev. bärbara också). Blir jobbigt för armen/axeln av att sitta vid en stationär dator
med pekskärm, det är vad jag syftar på. Aldrig får jag säga om det gäller mig själv, vill inte får ont
av att använda en dator, sa ju inte att det aldrig kommer vara folk som använder det men jag tror inte att
det kommer bli populärt precis. Mus används eftersom vi har ett grafiskt gränssnitt. Klart det funkar
med bara tangentbord men det blir enklare med en mus och i gränssnitt vi har idag blir det också snabbare

The earliest versions of Windows were designed to be used with a keyboard. Windows helped transition mainstream users to the mouse by bundling a mouse with the first version of Microsoft Word, over 25 years ago! This transition took quite a while, as many users were initially very skeptical of the mouse. “Real users only use the keyboard!” (Some might still say this. The good news is, we have you covered.) Of course now, all these years later, it is hard to imagine using a PC without a pointing device.

In 2009 when we started planning Windows 8, touch was often ridiculed on phones—the rumors of an iPhone with a keyboard were prevalent and often hopeful. It is almost quaint to look back at the speculation from many wishing and hoping for an iPhone with a slide-out keyboard.

Today, you would be hard pressed to find many people who still dream of a phone with a physical keyboard, though in a diverse world with diverse needs, even a small percentage of people represents a large absolute number.

Beyond phones, touch has become the single most pervasive user model for a vast array of interactions—many of those powered under the hood by Windows PCs! From cash registers, to ATMs, movie rental kiosks, airline check-in, and grocery checkout, touch is literally everywhere. How would you explain to a 5-year-old that when she touches a laptop screen, nothing is supposed to happen?

To think that your PC would remain the single computing device you do not touch seems illogical. It is reminiscent of historic debates over the use of color back when PC displays were generally monochromatic; despite color being everywhere around us, many people believed color would be a distraction to work and should be reserved for play. (The Office team actually had a significant debate about the use of color icons in the first version that introduced toolbars.)

In a decade (or probably less,) we will look back at this transition period and say to each another “Hey, do you remember how PC screens didn’t used to be touchable? Wow, isn’t that weird to think about now?”

Touch will evolve the same way. Having used a touch-enabled laptop every day for the last year (a Lenovo x220 tablet), I have a hard time imagining not being able to touch the screen for scrolling, or to tap the OK or Cancel buttons in a dialog box. Whenever I use a non-touch laptop, it is as if I’ve forgotten how to use the PC. Of course touch is not the primary way I use this laptop, but it is a crucial piece of how I interact with it. Even on the large-screen monitor I use at work, I just instinctively touch it—I don’t think “because this screen is attached to a desktop PC, I must not be able to touch it.”

Many have opined that touch can have no role in certain form factors—we’re all familiar with those quick to make comments about gorilla arms, fingerprints, poking at a screen, and so on. Many comments with this same tone were at the foundation of initial negative reaction to the mouse—“it makes me move my hand from the home row on the keyboard,” “I get sore wrists,” “it takes my focus off of my work while looking up at the screen,” etc.

While the ergonomics of a tablet placed in a dock with a keyboard is similar to that of a touch laptop, there is no doubt that touch is new and different in a laptop and desktop. But when you consider that we do not think it has to be used exclusively, it starts to look only like a benefit when it is there. (And our design does not assume it is always there—although we think you will learn to miss it when it is not.)

En annan sak angående den här smaltänkta idén om att touch-screen är framtiden på allt. XEROX testade datorer med pekskärm som primär input långt innan musen kom till, om jag minns rätt på en dator kallad PARC men jag har nog fel på namnet. Musen kom till eftersom touch input (då som nu, fingrar är klumpigare än en exakt muspekare) var sämre input. Musen kom och om Apple snodde den eller ej är en annan diskussion. Men den förbättrade datoranvändning i alla kategorier av arbete. Det kommer en pekskärmsdator göra på samma sätt, aldrig.

Unga naiva drömmare fantiserar om nästa grej. Det är bara det att "nästa grej" gjordes för 30 år sedan och dömdes ut. Det har inte mer framtid än det redan visat sig på surfplattor där mediakonsumption är huvudaktiviteten.

Ja det går fint att minimera Skype i Metro UI-läget och fortfarande prata. Det finns en inställning för det i appen.

Så fortfarande jobbar dom vidare på att döda operativsystemet för en desktop/laptop. Vem FAN sitter med en pekskärm och jobbar/surfar?!?!? Jag blir så trött. Gör om, gör rätt

Windows Update hittar ingen Windows 8.1 uppdatering.

jag har precis samma problem :/
