All that money spent on Win7 and not enough left for good actors, tsk.

Just duct tape one of those accelerometer mice to your foot!

Touch screen is fine when it is natural to use your fingers - such as organizing files, looking at photos and flipping through pages of a book/document [all the stuff iPhones are good at basically]. But for every day things a touch screen has no advantage over your mouse at all. I certainly wouldn't want to be sat 3 inches from my monitor just so I can use my computer.

as stated, its more effort than using a mouse, and hardly increases productivity, which is MS mantra.

omg couldn't they have at least hired a girl who had a voice slightly less painful than scrapping your eyes with razor blades?

Actually, I think these videos are slightly more cringe worthy.

chrisd · 5 Dec 2009 at 16:39

Fascinating. Please tell me more about your life.

I know, and why she feels the need to touch everyone on the way in. :confused:

I really don't like when unfamiliar people try to be obtrusively familiar with people they don't know.

I'd have to let her know not to be invading my personal space, then again I wouldn't be sad and lame enough to go to a Windows Store grand opening. :rolleyes:

They are definately doing it on purpose for a laugh and so people talk about it, they're not stupid

The windows 7 ads on tv are pants too; I kind of want to punch the snobby girl in the library in the face. And I'm not even a violent guy!
