Windows 7 sounds ridiculous

Obviously the author has not

Obviously the author has not met my daughters and their girlfriends, all married with children. Every single one of them were talking at a party about being able to touchscreen their PC's in the kitchen. If 6 women in one tiny party want it, I'd venture to say that "one HELL of a lot of other women" would give their eyeteeth for one also. Some of these women were waitresses before starting families and they used them at work and loved them. One of my daughters even remarked, "It's a hell of a lot easier to clean a touchscreen than a keyboard".

I strongly disagree with

I strongly disagree with this article's views. Mr. Reisinger thinks Windows Seven is ridiculous, but I, for one, think it is a good idea. Touchscreen capability is the future. However, it is utterly ridiculous to assume that Windows 7 will not have mouse and keyboard support. Once again, Mr. Reisinger has written a completely biased, uninformed and uninformative article that does nothing except tell people what a biased person Mr. Reisinger is. Mr. Reisinger should stop writing such low-quality articles and leave writing articles to people who actually know what they are doing.

Dear "Anonymous", Huh? Did

Dear "Anonymous",

Huh? Did you read my column? This isn't a discussion on bias, but a discussion on what I think is wrong with Windows 7. You mention that I'm uninformed and my column is "uninformative" and yet, the only comment you can squeak out revolves around your belief that touchscreens are the future without any support for that argument. While that may be true in certain rudimentary set-ups, I'd really like to see how that technology will translate on Windows. The way I see it, Windows 7 IS NOT the way to do it.

I understand that you disagree, but if you want to actually add something to the discussion, say something constructive. Otherwise, it's a waste of time.

Windows 7...

How can you say that Windows 7 is all wrong you have not even seen it yet. It is not even on a single home computer (legally) in the US yet. HOW THE HELL CAN YOU SAY IT IS WRONG WHEN YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT.

I agree with this author,

I agree with this author, touch screen is not user friendly in my eyes, and what about people who have just gone out and bought expensive 20+ inch screens? Are they going to have to buy another one that has touchscreen and that's even more expensive. The look of windows seven look rubbish as well. Whats going on, they should just sort out vista.
