I simply don't understand those guys at MSFT any more. As already pointed out by a lot of users, all that was shown is not only a ripoff, but generally speaking a ripoff of the lamest applications you can find on, let's say, an iphone. The iphone is a great phone not because of these aye candy features, and not because it supports multitouch, but because it has a intuitive rethinked interface which makes working with the thing a breeze. The fact that this interface required multitouch is just a side effect. In here we see the usual msft approach instead: first build the technology, then build the product. Wrong wrong wrong. They should have first redesigned windows interface in order to create something truly useful, and ground breaking. THEN they should have thought of the technologies needed to run the product and develop them. In the end: without a complete interface revamp with never concepts this multitouch thing is just another alternative input method, nothing to write home about.
