The windows 10, I think one of it’s main reasons for being created is the touchscreen. So as the general population gets more comfortable with touchscreen, it makes sense. I don’t play any games on the lap top. My daughter does. But I do go back and forth to the screen and keyboard. I have a fairly big lap top, with a glass screen. I really like it. Windows 10 without a touchscreen, and not using it is selling it short.

Touchscreen was the second thing I disabled - after the touchpad.

Touch was started on Win 7 (limited) and fully implemented on Win 8. The goal for Win 10, as best I can tell, is complete cross-platform integration, which is why MS is moving heavily into ARM, which allows full Win 10 on tablet and mobile devices. Meanwhile, touch, pen and voice input work equally across all devices, something the competitors can't touch.

Personally, I think this is a brilliant strategy, akin to the move to Office 365 which brought enterprise-level licensing to individual users.

Same thing going on w/ Windows being dispersed across divisions.
