At a dr appointment, so no time to read the story. Hopefully, they pointed out that you do not have to use the touch interface and can switch to a traditional desktop when using a PC.
At the doc for a case of multi-postitis? :)
The author says that despie being able to use a traditional desktop in the developer previews, he could not do so in the consumer preview; a major change he was unhappy with (and a significant source of his dislike, having previously been positive about the developer preview).
