Thread: Nav Tips & Keyboard Shortcuts for Win8

Maybe when Microsoft releases this as a final Retail OS they should consider adding one of those old Word Perfect keyboard overlays, that a lot of us old timers will remember, to the packaging.
Can I use my mouse, should I use my mouse, can I use my keyboard, should I use my keyboard, how do I get there from here.
Ease of use?? Really?
OK, OK... Granted it's not your father's "Windows". Hell it's not even your older brother's "Windows". Can I use it? Sure. Will I pay to use it? Not likely.
Regards
Randy

The great thing is that by the time I buy it I'll know how to use it.

I suspect that is how a lot of people will be adopting Windows 8.
It will be interesting to see if new hardware offerings (Microsoft Keyboard / Microsoft Mouse) will be adapted to be more Windows8-centric.

Yes, lest not forget there will come a time (buying a new puter) when a person will be buying Windows8. From my experience, so far, I will agree/say it would be good if Keyboard shortcuts & Nav Tips were on a sheet in the box... an instruction sheet, actual piece of paper, to guide Folks w/ the learning & functionality and make using this new OS nicer to discover & use. Most End Users don't think to look in Help & Support to get the 'How Tos' about their OS. And this would apply Touch or mouse... the manipulations are, still, the same. I may, even, suggest this to the Win8 Build Team.
