You know this will stimulate another growth spurt in the tech hardware market. I look to see table top screens.......no one will want to hold their arms up for hours to use a vertical screen.....something either built into the table top or tilted like the old drafting tables will eventually be the big "winner"

That table concept is kinda old, Lantec. And yes it's supposed to be like your living room table FYI.

So ... will it be better than XP and Vista? Microsoft better hope so, and I concur with Frogboy that I hope its going to be 64-bit only. I'm willing to make the change, so should everyone else.

The old drafting table (~45 deg angle) is probably the most comfy, but I can see fold out arms on chairs, sofas ... from walls or from under cabinets in the kitchen coming also.

May stimulate the furniture and all sorts of other businesses. Yum Yum.

Touching my screen with hands? No way. That screen'll get marks all over it soon enough.

That's why I never allow people to touch my lcd montior, thank you very much.

That said, it's definitely a cool tech, it's just that it will get dirty.

I really like the fact that when you hover over tabs they change color based on the app.  Also, I like that when you hover over the taskbar buttons your curser acts like a "light" over them (see the last vid).  I guess it's just the arty side of me coming out.

  Windows in the Cloud is an interesting thought, as computing and gaming moves to the net, it will be interesting to watch and see what happens.

I will wait for 'I am sorry, but, this recliner is in Reduced Functionality Mode.'

The 'peek' feature is interesting.

I'm not sure if I like the touch screen or not. I have a hard enough time seeing my screen as it is (bad eyes), without a bunch of fingerprints and smudges on it.

ARS just posted a video of the docking feature. You can read it here.

I didn't see anything in the video's that makes me drool.

Sorry.

Hehe...

How to make Win closer in looks to OS X?

Lets make Win 7 and by the time we reach Win 11 we might, just might, get there...

Problem is it will still be bloated and insecure...

Sorry but OS X FTW - all the way

There is not a cat in hells chance it will be 64bit only, Microsoft would exclude or scare away just about every corporate client who have Win32 business applications. Financial suicide...

If microsoft makes it 64 bit only..it will force corporate client to switch.  they can set up some deadline for it, so that clients have time to switch.
