Correct Daniel. Touchscreen. w8 is MUCH less productive without it. But it does work with just a mouse.

Yes, you would mouse to right screen, the hidden menu pops up. I assume in a multi screen, you would have to do it just the way you described.

Even without w8, I see the value in a touchscreen. Just makes things easy when you have the option of no mouse. I have a four screen set up (w7) and it would be freaking GREAT if they were ALL touch screen. Finding your mouse cursor in a multiscreen set up in sometime a PITA! LOL.
