Face it : a mouse is great for drafting and some web pages, but it is far from ideal for productivity; a touchscreen is... a touchscreen - unpredictable and gives the users no tactile(haptic when hovering ?!?) or visual feedback for actions. It is unfortunate that mobile phone developers have taken that route and that the trend caught on for tablets and PCs.
I am currently repeating my opinion that Microsoft did an excellent job with Windows 8.1. As long as you have a the most basic computer vocabulary and know where to locate the Windows Key, you can use the computer.
No need to learn all the shortcuts, but just tap the Windows Key and enter a term : reset, settings, reboot, the name of a software package - Excel/Steam/DraftSight...
I use the mouse for a few items, such as mouse over for certain icons in Word, Perapera Kun ( or just now to use the Blogger Associate/link function), but really you can do so much with the keyboard even in Windows 8.1.
