I wouldn't put too much into that article, even though it did touch (n
pun intended) on some valid interface changes being brought about in W7

I remember seing some early Alpha screenshots and demos of Longhor
(Vista), and the final product looks NOTHING like what those demos did.

Personally, I think Microsoft will do better to not concentrate to
much on touch-screen support, and rather work on improving speec
recognition. Now there's a UI service I could get used to! Either way,
think the mouse/keyboard combo will be with us for a long time still
even well beyond whatever eventualy becomes Windows 8..

Not gonna make it. Holding your arms out like that to operate a computer
will get old (and tired) really quickly. I wonder if W7 will come with
something to clean the monitor. From the article, it seems that Windows
7 will be Vista with some new eye candy. I'm so glad I found out about
Ubuntu.

Incredible. You found Ubuntu. Now how about going to
ubuntuforums.org and try to get those saps to migrate to Vista

Can't touch type, eh? With Ubuntu, there's a program included in
Add/Remove that will help you learn that skill.

Get it at http://www.ubuntu.com/

Windows 7 makes Ubuntu look even more like the crippled OS that it is.
Ubuntu really really sucks.

Oh, I forgot. You think that Ubuntu is the greatest thing since
sliced bread and you don't want to help those folks. All you want to
do is continue to be a troll and spread your venom here in the vista
group.
