How will this work for people doing real work on their PCs? Apple (with Lion) and now MS seem to be treating power users as an afterthought after trendier tablet users. Don't get me wrong, I love the new stuff MS is doing on WP7, for example. But I still need a PC (or a Mac) for most of my work.
Is it just me?
- r00fus 15y agoApple isn't ditching power users. They still sell Macs and OSX is not touch-based (nor will it be in Lion). Microsoft converting all of it's desktop users to a touch-first OS is going to be... interesting. Perhaps they will settle on multi-touch trackpads like the Apple Magic Trackpad to resolve the gorilla-arm issue?
- giladvdn 15y agoI'm a developer. A touch screen UI doesn't benefit me too much, just like I think it won't most business users. But maybe I'm wrong. We'll have to wait and see :)
