Windows 7 will control with ... touch screen

The world's number one software company Microsoft intends to feature touch screen controls (Surface) right in Windows 7, the next version of the world's best-selling Windows operating system.

This morning, Chairman Bill Gates presented a series of new features, based on software called "Multi-touch" , which he intends to integrate into Windows 7.

Finger instead of mouse

According to the calendar, the operating system will officially land on the market by the end of 2009.

According to Gates, Windows 7 users will be able to use 10 fingers to control the screen according to their wishes.

This technology will revolutionize the control of computers and mobile phones, while also eliminating keyboards, mice and sensor pens.

For his part, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said "touch screen control" is a powerful demonstration: the creativity and effort to improve Microsoft's Windows software.

Microsoft has been criticized for being lazy and stagnant when it takes six years to launch Windows Vista, the latest version of Windows on the market today.

As if he wanted to break the taunting nose, Gates said, "Windows 7 will allow users to interact with the computer in a completely new, natural and intuitive way."

"Today, we interact with computers primarily through mice and keyboards. But in just a few years, the role of voice, eyes, fingers . will become superior."

Gates's idea is to mention voice-controlled computer technologies, image detection and classification technology, and most notably Surface (coffee table computer).

Multi-touch software is built on some of the technologies that Microsoft has demonstrated in the last few years.

The most notable of these is Surface, or coffee table-type computer, and TouchWall (can be understood as Surface built on vertical surface).

To demonstrate touch control in Windows 7, Microsoft introduced a new application called "Touchable Paint", which allows users to "paint" with their fingers.

There is also another software for you to organize your photo library and view the map by touching the screen.

It is very interesting, but Microsoft Vice President Julie Larson Green also has to admit: "Currently, it has not completely replaced the computer mouse."

Microsoft has pledged that Windows 7 will not repeat the same mistake as Vista before, although it is equipped with a range of advanced and modern features and technologies, while ensuring compatibility with older applications.

"We have surveyed users' opinions. What they complain about most is Vista's new interface.

It took some time for users to get used to it, " Steve Ballmer told reporters.

"Mustache" stories

From the case of Vista, Microsoft has "learned a lot" when changing the user interface of future Windows versions.

"We will polish it, we will fix it - but we need to be in a more user-friendly way," Ballmer said.

Ballmer also said after Vista, "never users have to wait too long to receive a new version of Windows".

In a rare moment, Ballmer admits that Apple is a tough competitor, but does not forget to add that "the public objects of the two companies are completely different in size".

"If Apple only supplied about 10 million computers in 2008, there are 290 million other computers running our Microsoft Windows operating system."

So, even if Apple is quicker, launching a PC model with a touch screen, "Microsoft won't flinch."

When asked about Micro-hoo's heavy paper deal, Ballmer replied only that the two sides are still negotiating.

According to Ballmer, Microsoft does not plan to buy Yahoo at the moment, but he is contemplating what is in his mind . still a secret that cannot be revealed.

Bill Gates again "avoided" questions related to Yahoo by kicking the ball to Ballmer's foot. "I support everything Steve does. Absolutely support ."
