Dreadhead Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 Only in the store. I'll keep my Touch thankyou. WM7 is a better interface, but not for a tablet/pad. I have it installed on my ASUS touchscreen and it is faster than Vista, but that is the only improvement I have noticed as far as useability. Not Windows 7, Windows Mobile 7: Windows Phone 7 Series: everything you ever wanted to know -- Engadget That said everyone I've talked to that uses Windows 7 says the usability is excellent and a great improvement over Vista so I'm surprised with the above statement. As far as Zune vs Touch there are many people that feel your way and there are many that feel the other way but either way the UI isn't "standard" Microsoft. I was just pointing out that Microsoft has been trying new things recently.
morphsci Posted March 8, 2010 Report Posted March 8, 2010 OK that may be fair about WM 7 as I have not tried it. As far as Windows 7 , yes the useability is better compared to Vista for almost everything, but not for the touchscreen specific parts, which is what worries me about courier.

morphsci Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Not surprising as Microsoft never had any real will to make a tablet based PC.

GPH Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Damn, it was an interesting concept from MS for once.
Dreadhead Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Evidently HP agrees with you. Hewlett-Packard To Kill Windows 7 Tablet Project I think I'll wait until that news is official and not from a rabid anti-windows guy.
blessingx Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Yeah I'd like to see it confirmed too. And you're probably not gonna like this title (from the always fun tputh.com) : MICROSOFT CHICKENS OUT OF THE FUTURE

n_maher Posted May 4, 2010 Report Posted May 4, 2010 I think HP decided that it would rather use i's newest OS (via Palm acquisition) than struggle with the mess that is Windows 7 Phone 7 Mobile 7, whatever. So while they killed their Win7 tablet I doubt they killed their tablet.
