I hear you :)  I am with you, but sadly the desktop creators/maintainers/coders are going with it :(  
I even saw a guy on TV stating that there was no need for keyboards or mice anymore 

I can't seem to find a video that illustrates this, but this is a similar idea/technology:

In Windows 8 Preview, the desktop changes like for a tablet and one has to go to the registry to enable the old desktop see:
