Hi Dale, are you referring to the "Metro" interface, or the "classic" interface in Windows 8? I've yet to use it myself, but from what I've read the Metro interface is geared towards tablet/touch interfaces but the Classic mode is more akin to Windows 7.

I think Windows 8 kicks off in the Metro interface by default, but you should have the ability to switch (and make it default) to the "classic" interface which, from what you are saying, might be more inline with what you are looking for in an operating system.
