The world's longest blog post summarized -
1. you will use touch at some point, so get used to it
2. we're getting rid of Aero and made the desktop even uglier
The comments on the blog speak for themselves. It seems Microsoft is determined to make Win 8 even worse than it already is. They try so hard to make excuses and make it sound like non-touch desktop is still going to be ok, but its obvious they don't care about them.
