i have found this article, it's interestin.. and i think that these 8 things are sucks...!!1 A lot of people at Gizmodo are psyched about the iPad . Not me! My god, am I underwhelmed by it. It has some absolutely backbreaking failures that will make buying one the last thing I would want to do. Updated Big, Ugly Bezel Have you seen the bezel on this thing?! It's huge ! I know you don't want to accidentally input a command when your thumb is holding it, but come on. No Multitasking This is a backbreaker. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it possibly not have multitasking? Are you saying I can't listen to Pandora while writing a document? I can't have my Twitter app open at the same time as my browser? I can't have AIM open at the same time as my email? Are you kidding me? This alone guarantees that I will not buy this product.

It will be officially available in seven different versions, from the Windows 7 Starter, intended for netbooks and the like, all the way through to Windows 7 Ultimate, with Enterprise, Home and Pro versions along the way. Microsoft said that those who purchase PCs running Vista between now and the Release Date will receive either a free or discounted copy of Windows 7. As with past similar programs, details on pricing will be up to individual computer makers, although Microsoft did say the upgrade program will apply to Vista Home Premium and higher-priced editions (meaning not Windows Vista Basic). The software maker has yet to announce pricing for the product.

from: Windows 7 news.com Video: Multi-Touch in Windows 7 Microsoft’s Julie Larson-Green had the honor to do the demonstration saying that Microsoft is using part of the multi-touch technology from Microsoft Surface to enhance Windows 7. The operating system the demonstration is running on is a Dell Latitude XL with Windows 7. This demonstration is basically showing how Microsoft Surface could enhance Windows 7 on computers.
