Having tried to write programmes on a Spectrum and never got one to work, I can't imagine how writing an OS or one of these modern games can be done.
That's not my point. No-one is saying it doesn't work, it's just that millions of users don't like it and find it hard work.
Don't they do any customer testing to get reactions?
Or is it 'Microsoft knows best. Learn to love it'?
Millions of us(most of us) don't have touch screens and probably don't want or need them. Were we all forgotten?
It's OK for you experts, some of us struggle to switch on.
