Win 10 - Great on Desktop - No good for Touch Laptop yet
Hi there
I like W10 so far - but on an HP envy Touch laptop it's no good for TOUCH - desktop mode fine but I DO actually like touch for some applications.
The only thing I can get working reasonably OK in Touch mode is the on screen keyboard. Apps don't start by touching the desktop icons - for example in W8.1 I can start EXCEL on the Touch notebook by simply pressing the ICON I've got on the desktop. This works whether in a VM or not and I can re-size windows etc via Touch.
W10 on the same laptop - touch only works on the onscreen keyboard. You can move the icons around and one might "randomly" start a program but Touch is definitely not at all properly implemented so far.
Now as I don't use Touch very often I'll probably leave W10 on the HP laptop - but I won't install on the Surface Pro 3 - I do use that in tablet mode.
BTW Touch is implemented "okayish" fine on Linux !!! and desktop (non touch) ones run fine too - so I hope Ms sorts this out !!!.
So if you use a lot of Touch - I'd recommend holding off for a while --for Desktop users - seems "What the doctor ordered" -- certainly for a first pass
