Also, I want to apologize to the Tablet fans out there for not posting for so long. Reorgs, moving buildings, and Windows 7 work have all conspired against blogging here.

I will say that if you are impressed by the “touch features” in the iPhone, you’ll be blown away by what’s coming in Windows 7. Now if only we could convince more OEMs that Windows Touch Technology is going to drive their sales.

What’s great about this is that no one believes it. Everywhere I’ve seen this comment linked this morning, it’s been mocked. Microsoft is like the little boy who cried wolf — long after everyone has stopped believing their “the next version is going to be awesome!” proclamations, they still haven’t learned that they should shut the fuck up, build something that actually does blow people away, and then let the product speak for itself.
