For gesture control, I can see a use, but as a pointing device their practically useless, especially if you've got a multi monitor setup!

Or, as I have, largely bypass the new interface with 3rd-party add-ons.

I use a trackpad with my Macs over dual monitors and it's great only place a mouse is better is with photo editing - but then a tablet and pen is better for that anyway....
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

This is when I was called. On examining the PC I found that no drivers were running. I eventually found that I had to use MSCONFIG to get to services & startup and found that all the ticks had been removed. I just enabled all and rebooted the PC and all was working.
Comment from the guy was "i am not going to put Win 8 on again."

Quote Microsoft’s fightback against the tablet juggernaut with its forthcoming Windows 8 operating system promises to be a bumpy ride.
A check with Microsoft’s supply chain partners in Asia indicates that the production of Windows 8-based devices will briefly surge this Autumn before tapering off, with sustained high volume production unlikely to kick in until the second half of 2013, according to industry analysts.
I think Microsoft will be going the same direction as Comet.
