  Microsoft To Windows 8 Haters: Try This Mouse
Time: 12:08 EST/17:08 GMT | News Source: InformationWeek | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Earlier this week, Soluto, a PC management firm, reported that Windows 8 users have little use for Modern UI apps, and that desktop and laptop users are particularly unengaged. The findings were, to a degree, unsurprising; to many users, the Win8's Live Tile-dominated Start screen hasn't been, despite what Windows chief Julie Larson-Green insists, an improvement over Windows 7. It will be up to Windows 8.1, expected to debut as a public preview this summer before becoming commercially available in the fall, to address this problem. In the meantime, Microsoft has extended two small olive branches to users disillusioned by touchscreens, unfamiliar shortcuts and hidden Charms menus: new, Windows 8-optimized mice.
