Microsoft demonstrates Multi-touch | |
|
||
| Time: 21:58 EST/02:58 GMT | News Source: Windows Vista Blog | Posted By: Michael Dragone | ||

Tonight, at this year's D:All Things Digital conference, Julie Larson-Green showed Walt Mossberg how a few of the multi-touch innovations first previewed in Surface will ultimately enhance the next version of Windows. As soon as the video of Julie's demo is posted I will update this post. In the meantime, an abridged version of the demo can be found below. Please note, the applications you will see are for demonstration purposes only...but it's all Windows 7 underneath. | ||

| Nice. Will I be a better typist in Windows 7? Will Windows 7 incorporate perfect voice recognition so I can finally stop tying? The answers are "no." What I see in the video is more misplaced Windows "wow" that few will care about or use after the shine wears off. |

Well, this "Multitouch" features will be very useful to someone like me that use a Tablet; I am not so sure what is the advantage using it on a regular laptop or even less on a desktop; I mean I cannot see myself extending my arm to touch my monitors across my desk.
Time will tell... |

Yes but of course Win7 with multi-touch will be the ONLY method of input within Win7.
<sarcism off> sigh... these days people find it far easier to dismiss, than to embrace / respect / value / understand / learn... This post was edited by MyBlueRex on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 at 23:07. |

| Not impressed. I guess the excitement and nostalgia for Touch technology has been taken away by Surface. But, I just don't see how this will replace my proven experience with the mouse, keyboard and or laptop touch pad. How will this increase a users productivity, ad value and agility to my work flow. All I'm seeing here is a frenzied response to the iPhone and possible me first before Apple comes to market with something more revolutionary and in fact Apple will always come with something better. If this is the direction Microsoft is taking I see it as another small niche like the Tablet is right now. |
