Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and CEO Steve Ballmer on Tuesday unveiled a small preview of the company's next operating system – tentatively referred to as Windows 7 – at the All Things Digital executive conference. The preview demonstrated the integration of multi-touch directly into all application layers, allowing users to use multiple fingers in Paint, resize and rotate photographs, and performing many actions similar to that of the iPhone.
The demonstration also showed Microsoft Virtual Earth, which can be navigated by touch in both "road" and "aerial" views. Users can search for a location, such as Starbucks, and touch the push-pin representing the desired location, and information about the café will appear.

Anyone who bashed vista really should give it a go on dual boot with XP it makes a nice change. Its the only operating system i have used where it is instantly usable when the bottom toolbar and desktop icons show up. Then its not even a second to load up firefox it really is impressing me this, the second time i've had it.
Im not fussed about phones/gadgets no more. If im online im in the Non-Mobile discussion  |

Windows 7 is a development step forward from Windows Vista and its TabletPC capabilities. The video just shows improvement in interaction. You will not need the touchscreen, but it is an obvious advantage.
