Windows 7 will bring the 'touch' interface to the masses. Be prepared

I doubt there are more pc's running windows that have a touchscreen than there are iPhones.<p>Not that it isn't a nice development, but "bringing it to the masses" sounds like typical MS marketing BS to me.

Touch is a cute trick but for the most part I don't think it will make that big of a difference interface wise. In the end I suspect most users will use it every now and then on photos but it won't significantly change the user experience like it does on say an iPhone.<p>I made a post on my own blog not too long ago on why, after experimenting with touch interfaces, I found them to be lacking in a PC enviornment.
