I can understand that touching you monitor is annoying for involved tasks, but as multi touch technology gets better and cheaper don't you think we'll find better ways to work with it. For instance use a separate tablet that mirrors your monitor, similar to a wacom to manipulate your files. Besides they aren't getting rid of the mouse just adding another way to interact.

I don't get the touch thing either... I think it makes total sense for cell phones, and for interactive maps and directories in buildings. PCs, though? I would have loved it if Windows would have just switched to a unix kernal and created something simple and easy to use...

so, everyone will need a fancy touch screen monitor in order to make the most of Windows 7... errr, not sure that'll happen overnight

mouse + keyboard = works fine. No need what so fucking ever for a touch screen pc. You arm would get a cramp after a while plus the most obvious part: the screen will be filthy. The iphone is great, I love it. A touch screen at the ATM is great too.
As far as windows 7. It looks like Vista pt. 2. Shitty. Just make XP run 8 gigs of RAM and I'll be happy. Why doesn't microsoft just take XP and make it better. That's what everyone wants anyways. Morons.

why do all the things hes dragging around lag about quarter of a second behind his movement? iPhone feels like its proper stuck to your finger when you drag stuff around and its running with a fraction of the processor and graphics hardware.
The fact they are wasting their time on this and using it as a showcase on pissing desktops shows how clueless they are.
I just tried stretching my arm to my screen on my desk, I don't think I could do that for more than 1 minute.
lol remember ReadyBoost

i'm really loosing my mind over here trying to figure out, Who's signing the paychecks for people who come up with this stupid shit. are they sitting at a table brainstorming ways to destroy the company?
OR
is that m$ has gone the way of the Wii? The Wii can't compete with graphics or game play in this 3rd gen console war... so they decided to concentrate on the non-hardcore gamer and playability.
has m$ done the same thing. washed their hands of the designers, developers and hard core computer users and just decided to let apple handle us so that they can sell cheap touch bullshit to our grandparents and parents?
- but the Wii was I massive success BECAUSE it didn't appeal to the hardcore gamerDancer
- true, i wasn't calling out the wii, just the business model. i'm sure this windows will sell out..anxiousarms
- it just won't work. that's whre they will differ from the wii.anxiousarms

- Its more like the Xboxs embarrassing Mii ripoff recent rebrand vs apples innovationmodern

and when i (allegidlly) purchase one of these (i assume highly over priced) touch screens (which i fucking wont) will the screen get rub marks and scratches just like the monitors at restaurants that servers use?
what a waste of money.

you know, i had high hopes for windows 7. and it looks to be another year or two that i'll be sticking with windows xp.
my new hope is that people yell and scream and tell ms that even if you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig... uh.. hehe.. hmmm...
do your humanitarian duty and vote NO on 7!
- Lol, Steve Jobs using Windows XP, somehow I can't see that happening.Nightshade

it sucks that if we dont' want to use a mac we're stuck to a OS that's nearly 10 years old.
fuck.
- it works well enough... so what's the difference?7point34
- uhh, it could be better? way better? and look better? and use less resources... for instance.anxiousarms
- true, but i know when i install something i can find the app and get it to load... that's really all i need from an OS7point34
