Microsoft Touch Windows Demoed
Posted on May 28, 08 09:38 AM PDT
With touch screen displays being all the rage these days, it is no surprise that Microsoft will be including multi-touch features on its next operating system as an alternative to the tried and tested mouse. Needless to say, Microsoft executives secretly hope that Windows Vista's successor will receive a much warmer reception when it rolls out sometime in 2010, bringing touch-based features that are currently available on the iPhone (some of them, at least). Windows 7, as the new operating system is nicknamed, is tipped to change the way people interact with PCs in the future, but I think when it comes to everyday work the mouse is still more important and efficient. What do you think?

I think the mouse is just more efficient because its what people are used to. Touching and moving things with our hands is much more intuitive and with multitouch a lot me useful. I think when people let go of the mouse and touch screens become mainstream the need for the mouse for most things will depreciate.
