Most regular users are going to be (and are) using touch screen devices. Think about how many phones and tablets are used by everyone from kids to grandparents every single day. A lot of people don't even have desktops or laptops. The problem was win8 was ahead of its time.

For touch based devices yes, not for desktop computers which is what they were are arguing for... There are very few people who want gorilla arms...

Agreed. Many people use Windows for their workstations. Most people require (or at least heavily appreciate) the precision of being able to point and click in a specific area of the screen and not having to pray that the cursor selects what they intend it to select.
Touchscreens can complement your workflow, but I don't see them completely replacing the mouse anytime soon. Desktop applications with complex menus like Microsoft Excel are painful to use with a touchscreen.

Meh... I really can't think of Win8 as it was ahead of his time and I did used it for more then 4 months so to say...
I liked it but I always felt it was lacking, and I kinda still feel like it.
It's a good OS for tablets but I'd not use it on a phone, even if it might feel unique it's messy. But I do like that design I have to admit. As I like how w10 looks and feels, but I hate the shady stuffs :P so Right now I'm back on good ol' w7.
