It kind of works okay for me on a Mac - the gestures seem logical and work consistently.
I've got a couple of PC laptops (1 x Dell and 1 x HP) - their gesture support seems flaky and I often get unexpected/unwanted behaviour so I ended up switching them back to bog-standard mode.
I think a little more attention to detail from the manufacturers would sort things out, but Windows software always seems to stop at the 85% complete mark ("that's good enough, ship it" mentality).
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I'm not bothered about gestures so much (too bothersome to remember, when you move from machine to machine); I just want to scroll without having to move my hand to either a key or a real mouse.

That is a problem on PC's with every manufacturer (and even model) having a different way to do things

To start a fight involves that there should be at least an instant in which there are no fights. So no, that wasn't when the fight started

Well, don't get too used to it... given the fact you've got windows 8 probably you'll update to windows 10 soon... and who knows how will it work there...

Probably?
Probably?
Look:
- There's understatement.
- Then there's massive understatement.
- Then there's Jeeze! Wow! How unbelievably massive is that? understatement.
- And then there's "given the fact you've got windows 8 probably you'll update to windows 10"

OK, I've just worked with 8.1 for a long time now and I'm not completely unhappy with it... it works... but anyway, now that it seems that tomorrow I'll get a brand new Lenovo t450s to work with, I'll change to windows 10 as soon as it gets out, as far as I've seen it works well and looks promising...

Well...it's better than 5.0 / 5.0.2
But it's not perfect.
The new graphics do slug the device a bit - it's not all the time, but some operations do seem less snappy.
Battery use is still higher: a couple of hours less use per day for me, with nothing too intensive over the weekend.
It crashed Saturday, and again on Sunday.
It freezes from time to time, seems to be related to a lack of WiFi signal. It you move out of range of valid WiFi if can lock the device for a couple of minutes (and may make it crash as a result).
It really doesn't like AdBlock Plus...
Will I keep it? Or downgrade back to 4.4? Dunno yet - but I suspect that 4.4 is on the cards. It was smoother all the time, didn't crash, didn't lock. Not as pretty, doesn't have the "two finger drag down" of 5.x - but it's alarm clock support was easier to use, and the email client was better.
I'll give it a few more days before I decide - I'd like to get "the latest" if only to get rid of the permanent "update waiting" notice that 4.4 had in the top right!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Hah! I know what you mean. I've been sitting on that for a month or so now.

Somewhat Disturbing Movie Quote Of The Day
(though still KSS I believe)
I'm ready to lose my virginity. It's a common misconception that having intercourse during menstruation is unhealthy. When I lose my virginity, I want to be on my period.
Which movie?
