Mary Jo Foley: “I’m hearing buzz that if Microsoft can manage to gag and tie temporarily its Chief Secrecy Officer Steven Sinofsky, the company might show off at D6 the touch technology that Microsoft is building into Windows 7.
As I and others have reported previously, it’s not just Windows Mobile 7 that is adding touch support; it is Windows 7, as well. There have been more recent leaks corroborating Microsoft’s plans to add touch support to Windows 7….
As I’m still not much of a Tablet PC fan, I must admit Microsoft’s desire to add touch to Windows is a bit baffling. Even one former Softie working to help evangelize the Tablet form factor noted that PC makers were none too keen on creating Windows machines optimized for touch.”
People aren’t interested in touch?? Heard of the iPhone?
