Windows 7 first glimpses of the hand tiring multi touch system


There is some serious new software developed for Windows 7, you can transfer music and other media to your iPod, iPhone, Android phone and various cameras using just your fingers. Looks like Microsoft has decided to add in some features from its surface technology into the new OS. Software maker PQ-DVD (they make iPod video conversion software) have worked together with Microsoft, and come out with this new interface that allows you to simply place the device on the computer surface and multi-touch that data to its home. Who needs a mouse or keyboard when you've got hands? It's probably not faster than using a keyboard/mouse. It looks like it takes a lot of movement to perform certain tasks that ordinarily just took a slight jerk of the arm maneuvering the mouse and a few clicks. Still, this looks beautiful. It looks like it would be fun to use, at least for a while, and certainly impressive to show off. Those who use Media Center on a touchscreen PC such as the HP TouchSmart in the video, or who use a touch-based remote, will probably be gleeful with excitement.


All of this is neat to watch but I feel that a computer that is playing the Olympics video and simultaneously streaming music will need a home computer to have some serious bit of wireless hardware and a rock solid graphics board to work so smoothly.
