fixing windows 8.com started by former Microsoft employee.

A former Microsoft employee knows there are some major issues in Windows 8 and trying to convince to the Microsoft to address all these issues with the user interface on non-touchscreen devices.
and they launched a website called http://www.fixingwindows8.com
with tag line: Touchscreen + Windows 8: Great! Keyboard/mouse + Windows 8: Hate!

A former techies says"

Windows 8 is a radical leap forward and may be a phenomenal tablet OS. Unfortunately, ~99% of Windows users don’t have a touchscreen. I’m a UX designer and want to help Microsoft improve Windows 8."


some of the issues are:
  1. I don’t want to look down to where my hands naturally rest.
  2. I don’t want to stretch my arms out to where my eyes naturally look.
  3. I don’t want to feel nothing in response to touch.
Until these three issues are resolved, a touchscreen cannot replace the traditional computer.   Microsoft seems insistent on trying to make this happen; the technology is just not there yet.
