Windows 7 Wins Popular Science Award for Windows Touch

Today, Popular Science released their annual Best Of What’s New for 2009 which recognized this year’s top 100 innovations. Windows Touch in Windows 7 has won Popular Science’s Best of What’s New Award this year in the computing category. Very cool!

Speaking of Windows Touch – USA Today’s Ed Baig takes a closer look at Windows Touch in Windows 7 and multitouch on PCs in general. He suggests Windows 7 could spur multitouch adoption in PCs. I’ve been playing with the HP TouchSmart tx2 and have a couple of multitouch monitors on the way for my office here in Redmond. If you haven’t had a chance to experience Windows Touch on Windows 7, head to your favorite retailer and give it a spin.

    I have an HP TouchSmart as well, although I'm still running Vista Ultimate ... outstanding machine. I love multi-touch.

    I have a TouchSmart tx2 as well and love Windows 7 touch & tablet features. However, HP & n-Trig have dropped the ball on support, hardware quality and customer service horribly.

    lituus, that's fantastic to hear regarding your experience with Windows Touch on your tx2! Also - great question regarding using Windows Live ID here on The Windows Blog. We will be looking to deploy Windows Live ID integration for the site very soon. Glad you asked!
