Windows 7: The OS that launches a thousand touch-screen PCs? | |
|
||
| Time: 14:21 EST/19:21 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Apple Inc. may still be coy about whether it plans to launch a touch-screen tablet computer this year, but Windows PC makers are forging right ahead. In the past three weeks, five leading PC makers have announced or been reported to confirm plans to release touch-screen PCs running Windows 7, which will provide built-in multitouch features, as well as enable touch applications written for it. | ||

Ugh. I don't like ear grime on my Blackberry so I could just imagine what the screen would look like if I had to get my fingers all over it. Who wants to travel with your Touch Tablet and a cloth & bottle of Windex? And I can already enjoy the benefits of a touch screen at home after my kids have been on my system -- the exercise I get from getting the cloth & Windex.
I've been on staycation for the past week and AW has been very quiet. Time to stir the soup. Hey Ketchum, how about MS skewing the Bing search results? Nah, that's sooo 2-3 weeks ago. |

| I'll be surprised if Win7 sells anymore than vista. |

| Well, you might just be surprised then. In many sectors of the corporate world, we skipped by Vista. But time moves on, and so must XP for workstations at some point. It costs a good quarter a million to retrofit/recompile/test/recertify/audit all the client software at my institution for operation under a new OS. Wasn't about to do it on Vista, but its just about time now. |

| #1: The cloth that comes with the iPod touch really does a nice screen cleaning without chemicals. |

| #1 Touch screens aren't that bad... yes you will need to wipe them every now and then (frequency depending on how oily/sweaty you are)... and they definitely have their place - i.e. they shouldn't replace everything... but ever since getting my first iPhone with multi-touch... I'm sold! It's really well implemented and the last thing I ever want to go back to is a PDA with a stylus or worse a Blackberry (which is better with the nipple roller button but was the absolute worse hunk of crap in previous models where all you had was the thumb scroll wheel!). So as long as the applications for Windows 7 made good/appropriate use of multitouch... bring them on! Just don't go overboard and start making everything touch :) |

#4: Good to know.
#5: I have a friend with a BB Storm and he bitches endlessly about how difficult it is to type on a touch screen and how grimy the screen always seems to be. I used it for a few minutes and didn't really like it as compared to my Bold (I love my nipple!). |
