Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted September 13, 2008 Global Moderator Share Posted September 13, 2008 that second women wouldn't shut up about the iPhone and what you can do with it. I don't think she was a very good reporter... That's cool they are showing off some Windows 7 features already, but you give the competition time to copy Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/640014-windows-7-d6-demo-video/page/3/#findComment-589786076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 My concept picture: the problem with that is there would have to be some kind of tactile feel on the MT screen otherwise typing on it would be a real pain for us touch-typists.

Examinus Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 the problem with that is there would have to be some kind of tactile feel on the MT screen otherwise typing on it would be a real pain for us touch-typists. I agree that tactile feedback would be a problem, but surely that wouldn't out-weigh the advantages?

azz0r_wugg Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 The only way touch technology would be useful to me, is if it used a regular camera and I could do gestures on my desk where the cameras pointed. Channel10 had a video about something like that years ago.

LiGhTfast Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Can see it being usefull if we had a interface like LCARS http://www.lcarsdeveloper.com/ from star trek Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/640014-windows-7-d6-demo-video/page/3/#findComment-589789262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narlzac85 Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 where do they get these people. Complete morons interviewing developers about **** they don't understand....it never fails. I can't believe someone asked if you would have to replace your desktop computer monitor. Don't get me started on the "Oh, like the iPhone" lady...

iconboy Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 what would be awesome is if there was some kind of addon for existing LCDs to make them touch enabled! lol i know pie int he sky dream, but it would goa long waaayyy to converting people to touch who dont want to buy another LCD. also who wants to bet apple beats M$ to market on this for computers and does a better job? no offence to M$ it just feels like their development cycles are bloated and not concentrated.

Julius Caro Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 ^ im pretty sure the dual-screen idea is patented by Nintendo. Its what sepereates them. If everyone was able to come out with this, then the DS would have no value. how bout a tablet, but the keyboard slides out and folds? LIke the ATT Tilt. slid from underneath, then fold to a 90 degree angle. how people can get away with patenting such "anybody could have thought about it" things is beyond me. and while this multitouch seems like the logical evolution, there's no point for current hardware. For a desktop computer it's certainly not very ergonomic, unles the screen is like on a table slightly tilted, but in that case your wrists would lie ON the table and mess everything up, it would be very tiring. As for a laptop it can be cool, but then again it seems like an attempt to revamp the flopped tablet PC. But of course, multitouch tablet laptops seem to be the future, and tablet macbooks have been rumored since like forever, just like the iphone.

I don't think she was a very good reporter...That's cool they are showing off some Windows 7 features already, but you give the competition time to copy but what's there to copy? there's been multitouch talks for years. remember "surface" or whatver it was called? it was like that. and the iphone does that, too. it's only logical that they make even more multi-touch-y than before, after all we have 10 fingers !! It IS a big evolution but nothing that hasn't been imagined already. It's all a matter of who makes it popular first rather than who's being more innovative.

Commodore Max Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Touch is great. But it has to be done right. That video demo is cool, but there's gonna be a lot of changes to this before it comes out.
