Windows 7 Multitouch Demonstration
Starturtle writes "Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer have shown a small snippet of the upcoming Windows 7 at Walt Mossberg's D: All Things Digital conference. It seems like the Windows team have switched their focus for inspiration from Mac OS X to the iPhone OS. Multitouch is the biggest addition, and will appear system-wide, usable anywhere. The most interesting part of the touch UI is not the eye candy, it's the Task Bar, which seems to have morphed into a pie menu."
What is with the Apple fanboys lately? Honestly, how is running their business on Apple? Linux has more market in the business sector than Apple. If it weren't for the Ipod Apple probably would have closed shop a long time ago. The iphone? What a scam. You can touch the screen to make a call, but it can't do a simple picture message?
Sure it looks cool, but only on a "Surface", pardon the pun.
The interface is totally unusable in any application beyond producing cheesy demos.
To begin with, can't reach my 21" screen, yes, I sit that far away. Good for your eyes, you know.
Even when I work with notebook, I don't wont my hands stretched forward all the time. I'll have cramps after an hour.
But it does look good on the demo, I admit, so shit-brain managers will be impressed!!!!!
