Yesterday, during the opening hours of the D6 conference, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher jointly interviewed Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates. While the interview dealt mostly with the past, Yahoo, and a bit of Vista, by far the most interesting part was the first ever public appearance of Vista's successor: Windows 7. Earlier today, the team behind D6 posted a video of the demonstration, which was conducted by Microsoft's Julie Larson-Green. From a graphical user interface point of view, there were some interesting things in there.

As others also pointed it out, this is all good as a pound of candy for our collective eyes
but usually one doesn't have 10 images, we have tens of thousands of images, organizing them by hand/touch wouldn't seem a sane way. Also, what is mentioned pretty rarely, using your hands to do these things can be really tiring, and I mean really, nobody would be able to do this longer than a few minutes at a time. And about 3D application of the touch interface, I'd say it would have some limited use, like easy demonstrations, and nice previews, but nothing else, it's just more easy and precise to do the architecting steps with a high precision device. Of course it would have its uses in places like CNN these days, but on the desktop, well, we'll have to wait and see, but I'm fairly skeptical.
