True, the hardware ultimately is subject to the software (hardware people would probably argue the opposite) & the demonstrated interface really seems to map to current input devices, eg just with hand/finger pressured gestures instead of using a mouse.

I had my first play with MS vista today & it was nice and all but except for the visual candy what was ultimately new with the interface?

There are many interesting things with this (touch screen/hardware) technology espeicially in the mobile phone industry (ie. iphone) but I like the intuitive nature of what is currently being developed. Almost physically touching the raw data. Heavily processed of course.

I would say that any current software would be able to be controlled by this new kind of hardware input device. The presenter demonstrates a browser & a few other things that suggest backward compatibility but programs would obviously gain from a bit of recoding to interpret more specialised gestures.

Now when will rev be able to do this? :)


actually, nothing hinders you from developping externals to
achieve a similar result...
