Windows 7 Touch: Dead On Arrival

The folks at Network World are complaining about the state of touchscreen technology in both both Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

Well, that was the theory. The truth has been a bitter disappointment. In both Windows 7 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the touch experience has been underwhelming. Limited deployment is partly to blame, as -- despite marketing hype -- neither Apple nor Microsoft is making a serious effort to touchify their OSes. For Microsoft, touch seems to be a technology crush it won't admit it's fallen out of love with; for Apple, touch seems to be a key part of its non-PC strategy.
