Mr. Dee Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 For a minute there I thought the White Board was Windows 7, LOL! :laugh: http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadget...05/p1000152.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted May 28, 2008 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpgfan Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Eh forget this... I'll watch the better-quality videos later... I have to get SOME sleep tonight... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notuptome2004 Posted May 28, 2008 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windam Posted May 28, 2008 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preppy Veteran Posted May 28, 2008 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.

ATLien_0 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 from engadget "They worked with the Surface team on the multi-touch stuff. Microsoft is re-thinking the whole user interface to better accommodate multi-touch for day to day use." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duritz Posted May 28, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveseven Posted May 28, 2008 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted May 28, 2008 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. Posted May 28, 2008 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 try to stay out of those sections on Neowin because everything turns into a Vista vs. XP debate, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 This isn't going to revolutionize business that much considering most people just use outlook and word... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dee Posted May 28, 2008 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 comment 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..
