Microsoft Touch Windows Demoed

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?
