MGS4-SS Share Posted May 28, 2008 I think multi-touch is better on small objects. What is the use on bigger screens? It would look like you're a cashier at McDonalds, hitting the screen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

notuptome2004 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I hope they show more than mutlitouch. I hate to be negative, but personally I couldn't care less about this innovation. it was succeful in the iPhone and i remeber some saying the iPhoen would bomb and crap cause of multi-touch and guess what it is one of the most succesful products to date Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windam Share Posted May 28, 2008 inafried - Here's my question, Microsoft will have this in Windows 7, which is set for late 2009. When will Apple have it? pwnd! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preppy Veteran Share Posted May 28, 2008 Forget about CNET, I'm sticking with Engadgets Photos and Text. Javascript is the last thing I want hogging resources. JAVA is the worst thing invented by SUN Microsystems.JAVA != JavaScript.The Qik link is pretty bad. The Engadget link is indeed much lovelier.

Xero Share Posted May 28, 2008 Steve: Windows PCs are going to look fantastic. There's a lot in Windows 7. Our goal is to get our partners to build really great PCs.umm....that was his rebuttal? I like how he bragged about pc sales as if they make all the profits off selling a pc. They are just the software which they sell dirt cheap to oem's ah ballmer, never lets me down Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveseven Share Posted May 28, 2008 7:47 - Mossberg's drilling Bill on the Mac vs. PC, Bill's retiscent. Ballmer: "Every share point Apple picks up is a share point we don't like. ... But it depends on what your goal is. We like selling 290m units. ... Our model is better." Mossberg: But you CAN'T be happy with this Vista situation? Ballmer: "What's the appropriate response? I kind of like what Bill already said." Gates: "You're kind of repeating yourself." Ouch. Big applause. wow..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Share Posted May 28, 2008 Sounds like Windows 7 will be a success only if hardware makers want to do so. The second the technology gets pricier than traditional PC's, the second that Windows 7 fails. I really doubt the average Joe/Jane will go out of their way to get a computer will all the gimmicks.

bluewind. Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm impressed.Microsoft manage to pull something I didn't see coming, although it doesn't really pertain to me. I'm pretty sure there have been rumors on Neowin and other places about such an interactive touch interface for months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Limb Share Posted May 28, 2008 I'm pretty sure there have been rumors on Neowin and other places about such an interactive touch interface for months. I try to stay out of those sections on Neowin because everything turns into a Vista vs. XP debate, lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dee Share Posted May 28, 2008 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve should do a windows 7 ad like he did I also doubt the entire Os will be mulitouch, if it is, then they set them selves up for failure.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
