    Touch screen has been around for years, it seems that Microsoft just want to push it now because people think the touch screen iPhone is cool. The thing is, on a mobile phone it is cool, because it does away with the need for a keypad or joystick. But on a computer, you will always need a keyboard for typing fast, and a mouse for precise drawing. I don't see that touch screen adds anything. It's been available for years, if it was so good or useful, wouldn't I be typing this by touching my monitor right now?

    Also, now did I miss something, but aside from touch screen, what are the advantages of Windows 7?!

    • oh wait, i've just seen the video above. wow, they have an OS X dock now.Nightshade
