To all the multi-touch nay-sayers, there's nothing wrong w/ MS making their OS compatible with it. Whether next year or in 3 years, multi-touch is gonna hit desktops - sure not all apps will get much benefit from it, but some will. What I find ridiculous in this whole thing is that that's the big Win7 selling point they're using. If I can't find a reason to upgrade to vista, I sure as hell not gonna upgrade to vista + multi-touch.
How about some real OS improvements - DB-driven file system (which was suppose to be in vista anyway), a robust back-up system, proper search functions, things that improve OS overall not just how you interact with it.
well considering vista was supposed to be XP SP3, you really cant expect them to make that many drastic changes. windows 7 has been in development for awhile now, so look for big changes in the OS's inner workings as well as appearance.
and to everyone whos saying its "vista + multi-touch", thats not tru. yes it looks like vista but cmon now...do you really think theyre gunna show us the new desktop/OS look this early?
the Nook Color proved it was an undercover tablet all along, Barnes and Noble has hit back with this latest Nook as proof of its focus on one thing: reading.
