Windows 8 is clearly moving away from the traditional desktop and toward a touch-centric environment.

Windows 8 – Four ways to open My Computer (with mouse and keyboard)
Using a mouse and keyboard in Windows 8 will feel a little strange at first, but as you use the new interface you will notice that Microsoft has paid as much attention to the details as it has to the touch function.
After trying out the new operating system a few times, it will become easier and more natural. If you are a traditional user and do not have a device with a touchscreen, you can still easily navigate Windows 8 using a mouse and keyboard – here are some tips:
The first thing you'll immediately notice when you look at Windows 8 as a touch-oriented operating system is the new lock screen. It doesn't display user accounts, and there's no unlock button either. Instead, you'll be shown a nice wallpaper and useful information like the time, date, and a number of status notifications. It's important to note that most of the elements of this new lock screen can be personalized to your liking in the PC Settings section.
