Windows for a touchscreen? WHY Windows? Linux/Maemo and iRex Iliad linux and the new coming machines all have touch or pen features. So WHY WINDOWS? It offends me. Mor than 40 years with computing, and the Microsoft garbage would chase me to the grave? I ask you journalists: stop assuming that windows is best or even adequate. Microsoft Era is soon over, bet on that. You are just keeping the suffering giant alive.

You would think it would be OBVIOUS why touch screen would go into netbooks....they're light weight. Try to pick up and cradle in you arm a 15" or 17" notebook that weights 7 to 9 lbs. No easy or fun for very long now is it?

Now pick up your netbook and pretend it’s a swivel touch screen. That would be nice & easy to carry, right? A netbook would fit in the crook of your arm, right? That is why touch screens are a good idea for netbooks and won’t take off no matter what they price on larger devices.

I'll call it right now netbooks will be the kings of touch screens aside from smart phones. Most netbooks will have them in two years and only a small percentage of notebooks or desktops will have them in two years. AND IT WON'T BE BECAUSE OF PRICE.

Touch screens are best used at angles that resemble holding something like....an iPhone or writing or drawing in a sloped desk. That sort of natural angle which touching it with the fingers is made easier is what really matters.

Swivel? Who needs a swivel? Just lay the machine down with the
display facing up and the keyboard sticking up in the air after rotating
the display 180 degrees.
Admittedly, poking at an upside down keyboard sticking up in the air
might cramp your typing style. . .
