Gates, Ballmer and crew debuted Windows 7 last night at the All Things Digital conference. To be honest, at this point it is underwhelming, and this comes from someone who loves vista.
The highlights of the piece entails plenty of touch screen. So much touch screen in fact that you may think this was Microsoft’s Surface on desktop. Personally I couldn’t care more touch screen on a desktop. I am a gamer, I am attached to the hand/hip/you name it with my mouse. I don’t want a nice LCD all gooped up with smudge prints. And what is next, huge arm rests that you will set on your desk so you can hold your hand up by the screen?
Regardless you can still see a bit of the GUI, but not much. I want to see some added features that I will actually use, and hear about performance updates.
What do you guys think? Is touch a necessity on a desktop?

Touch screen is a cool feature but in the end thats all it is. Theres really no use for it and we have already seen touchscreen features awhile ago with the tablet PCs which pretty much fell off the face of the earth and have a small little segment in doctor offices. I would prefer using a mouse over a touchscreen anyday and im sure after a while of dragging your fingers on the screen is that they would dry out and get rough since theres a decent amount of friction in doing that. And your arms and fingers would become sore after a short amount of time since you cant rest them. Touchscreen is useful at atms and other kiosks n what not but not on a desktop. But anyways windows 7 is probably like vista with just the new feature of touchscreen.
