A larger ipod touch with the mac desktop enabled how neat.. How about one of these instead and it's not based on the Windows desktop..

As far as tablets go, I personally like windows 7's touch screen controls and if you haven't used an HP touchsmart then, I'd say your view is kinda bent, Microsoft has been very successful with Windows 7 and touch especially with WPF applications and Silverlight.

 After watching this video if you think Microsoft isn't ahead of the game then I'd be really suprised.. Everything they do here I can do with UI and I develop applications like this in WPF and on the web with Silverlight all the time..

You guys are yet again behind the curve with facts/capabilities.. I own macs as well as PCs.. Unless the slate does all of this, then you guys have a lot to deal with.

I use the iphone everyday (have to due to network coverage issues in my area and while I like all their cool apps and safari, yes it kills windows phones) the fact is Microsoft is ahead with touch. They have been researching and researching.. If you haven't used windows 7 with a touchscreen on either a tablet or WPF applications, then just saying this kinda thing is being "platform religious"..  

Here's a 3 year old touch screen app (it requires Windows) from japan, it'a a zoo.. This was done pre-silverlight and is a windows only application that runs in the browser. It requires no installation outside of the browser.. I have yet to see anything like this one my Mac or iPhone..

Try it out.. You guys need to get rid of your anti-windows bias and look at what's really going on and happening.. It's not about the OS or the maker it's about making cool apps that run everywhere now..

and fyi: The zoo app link I sent is an XBAP it's not designed to work also on the mac and linux like silverlight applications are. It's a purely windows platform application that runs in a browser (either Firefox or IE are supported)..
