Visiting Microsoft’s Media Centre posse in Redmond, I just caught a glimpse of the Windows 7 Media Centre interface with integrated touch control (no third-party software) on an HP TouchSmart. All I can say is, I’ve always loved the MCE user experience—it really is a highlight of Microsoft design—but adding smooth touch interaction makes it even better. The only thing missing here is multitouch, but I’m told that’s coming. Check out the vid. [Windows 7]

why bother
Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 4:24 PMumm, why would anyone want to touch their TV to control their media player?
personally I find the remote control far more convenient from the comfort of the couch 3, metres away from the TV…
