Windows 7 will have touch feature
Windows 7 Development, Windows 7 News Add commentsA Microsoft blogger Hilton Locke said that “I will say that if you are impressed by the “touch features” in the iPhone, you’ll be blown away by what’s coming in Windows 7. Now if only we could convince more OEMs that Windows Touch Technology is going to drive their sales.”
Also Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft, talked on 6th January 2008 at International Consumer Electronics Show. He said “The first digital decade was largely driven by the keyboard and the mouse. Just in the last two years we’ve started to see the emergence of other modes of interaction. Touch on the Windows PC, touch on the iPhone, the Surface device that we’re talking about. We started to see speech, - the Tellme capability - built into the phone, the Ford Sync, where you get to talk and interact with your media or your phone capabilities.”
We are waiting to see the new features.

This sounds pretty good to me, can’t wait for the betas.

So what? It’s only for if you get a computer with a touch-sensitive screen.
And “blow you away” isn’t very specific. If he thinks that they can make touch technology for Tablet PCs significantly better than iPhone tech, I doubt he ever tried an iPhone.
Finally, on the MacBook Air, there is already great touch technology, (in Leopard). 1, 2, or 3 finger motions on the touch-pad allow all kinds of conveniences, like switching through programs, viewing photos, zooming, scrolling, etc., depending on what program you’re using.

Re: Jeff
Don’t be a mac troll. Have you seen how Microsoft Surface works? They can make amazing touch features in the new Windows, provided that’s there focus, which it seems to be at this stage

RHSC: Yes I saw the surface. I saw a video of how it works. I think it’s really cool too. It is like a huge iPhone, and because it has a large screen, it has some other really neat features.
But even still, any port of Microsoft Surface into Windows 7 would have to be on special touch-screen computers.
And yes, the MacBook Air doesn’t have all the features of Microsoft Surface, but at least it’s already here with multi-touch support.
