• What little we know about Windows 7

    After the truly vacuous interview that Steve Sinofsky granted to Ina Fried at CNet/CBS, I figure that any, uh, real news about Windows 7 would be most welcome.

    Well, we didn’t get much.

    Walt Mossberg’s D6 conference brought a demo from Gates and Ballmer that promises Windows 7 will incorporate Microsoft’s “Touch” interface – essentially a touch screen that recognizes two simultaneous inputs. It’s cool, it’s sexy, and the demos look fantastic. But will it change the way I compute? Will it help me get my work done, so I can get home earlier at night?

    That remains to be seen….
