Microsoft WINDOWS 10: Seven ATE Nine. Or Eight did really

"There's the same task bar on the bottom of the screen with a Start button, but when you click on that the Windows 8 input becomes apparent".

Tifkam needs to be off by default, with an option to turn it on if you have a touch screen and want it on !

This is yet another opportunity for M$ to do things such as to show file extensions as default, rather than have folks blindly clicking on an icon with no idea what it is or what it could do ! File name.jpg.exe is not an image file, dragging and dropping a section of txt from office to your desktop does not mean that the .shs file that is made is a virus, but downloading "mypic.shs" probably will be :(

Hiding file extensions is a major obstruction to educating users :(

While it is true that "Silver Surfers" are of the age that pioneered the Internet but most of them did not, more users are becoming tech savvy via school and do not need the dumbing down of Windows !
