Microsoft, why is this the selected default?

Seriously.

I mean, if the system detects that there isn’t a keyboard, and that it has a touchscreen, again, why isn’t the default be that the onscreen keyboard automagically popup?

This is one of the vestigial silliness that makes me incredibly frustrated at Microsoft!

It is also a very annoying source of support calls that we have to field from first-time users to the touchscreen systems we deploy for clients.

Do you think I like those non-revenue-bearing calls?

Do you?

Microsoft, wake up!
