Multitouch will have close to zero usefulness in the business world. They’re all just gimmicks that will grow old in a few minutes (except Google Earth with multitouch, photo album *maybe*…).

If this is what they want me to upgrade to then sign me up! Most people are still on XP, not Vista. The gap between Vista & Win7 is going to have to be greater than the gap between XP & Vista. They’re going to have to pull out some goddamn amazing tricks (read: NOT TACKY GIMMICKS) to get people to make the (most likely hugely expensive even if it is modular) switch.

Heh. My $0.02 as someone who hates poorly-implemented useless trivial bling.
