I use mine for the same 1) 2) & 4), but also keep our financial records on Quicken & Neat Receipts, our medical billing history in Quicken Medical Billing Manager, & our RV records on RVers Notebook -- as old a Windows application as it goes (an Access database).

Do either of you ever use the touchscreen while working in the Win 8 desktop?
For that matter, do you ever use the touchscreen?
DW almost never uses her keyboard; she uses a Wacom Bamboo stylus with the touchscreen. (NOTE: She's a quadriparetic from polio as an infant, so that might skew her preferences.)
