Make sure you wash your hands before using.... Microsoft demos 'touch Windows' http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7422924.stm The piano's sold it to me already :-)  SignatureJon Jon;728742 Wrote: > Make sure you wash your hands before using.... > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > -- > Jon I wouldn't put too much into that article, even though it did touch (no pun intended) on some valid interface changes being brought about in W7. I remember seing some early Alpha screenshots and demos of Longhorn (Vista), and the final product looks NOTHING like what those demos did. Personally, I think Microsoft will do better to not concentrate too much on touch-screen support, and rather work on improving speech recognition. Now there's a UI service I could get used to! Either way, I think the mouse/keyboard combo will be with us for a long time still, even well beyond whatever eventualy becomes Windows 8...

With Ubuntu, there's a program included in Add/Remove that will help you learn that skill.

Try it for yourself. Many people in this forum have already made their statements regarding how screwed up Ubuntu is. Do a search and you will see. People download Ubuntu thinking that it just might be the way to go. Once they install Ubuntu and investigate it, they realize what a piece of crap it is, they remove it right away. You just don't have a clue. >>>>>>> Jon;728742 Wrote: >>>>>>>> Make sure you wash your hands before using.... [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > I'm not lying about Ubuntu. It really is crap.

If they make it so you must, many will opt out. I don't think you average monitor today can take a daily scrubbing of Windex to remove the finger prints. Fortunately there are alternatives. Yep, don't see the mouse/keyboard going anywhere anytime soon. >> Jon;728742 Wrote: >>> Make sure you wash your hands before using.... [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Yep, don't see the mouse/keyboard going anywhere anytime soon. There is no keyboard or mouse on the new OLPC machine in case you hadn't noticed. Just two screens, one being a touch screen. So I guess you are probably wrong. I imagine a notebook with two 15.4 inch screens, one being multi-touch would be very nice, as would a touch sensitive LCD screen the size of a desk, sorry I meant as a desk. You lack imagination, get out and try more stuff rather than sitting there wondering if you will be able to get drivers for a multi-touch display. >>> Jon;728742 Wrote: >>>> Make sure you wash your hands before using....

Alias >> Me, I question touch screens, remember them with HP 150 PCs back in the >> 80's. Dumb idiots would leave their finger prints on the things obscuring >> vision. It was a real PITA. And no body see's the problem with several million dollars of software spread from one end of the planet to another becoming obsolete because a new OS doesn't have a mouse ? Guess not many recall the amount of hardware & software Vista made obsolete just 2 years back. They even riled Adobe. But why not get back to basics, needing $20,000 pencils to operate the paper.

Holding your arms out like that to operate a computer will get old (and tired) really quickly. I wonder if W7 will come with something to clean the monitor. From the article, it seems that Windows 7 will be Vista with some new eye candy. I'm so glad I found out about Ubuntu.
