That statement makes no sense. To become computer literate, one must read manuals. Period.
I've had my issues with Windows 8 on my Surface RT, but after a month I found it became quite intuitive. So much so, in fact, that I frequently find myself trying to use Windows 8 gestures on other devices.
I much prefer it today to Android and iOS despite its flaws. It provides me with more powerful and effective ways to do what I need to do. On a desktop, well, I can take it or leave it. But I think much of the criticism is overblown. Much like the way most Apple flaws are.
Thanks to Windows 8/RT, I will never own another personal laptop and my home PC is relegated to the role of media server. I don't think my work devices will be too far behind. 5 years, maybe a bit longer, seeing as how we just got off XP this year. The big screens and mice will still be there, but most likely in a docking station or VM environment. Mobility is going to be all about the hybrids. In my opinion anyway.
