RE: Touch in Windows 7: Just for show?

I'm reading this on a Touchsmart, sitting on a stool in my kitchen. I think touch has a place in the home, but it's a different approach to the computer, a little more casual. I can walk over and check my email without even sitting down, and then walk away. The mouse and keyboard stay stashed most of the time, and I don't have to go into "using the computer" mode or make a big time investment.

I think if people try to use a touch computer in exactly the same way as they use their existing desktops, it doesn't make sense. It's a "kiosk in the home" approach that works best. I don't think people will see that right away, so while touch has a lot of value, I do think it will take some work to show people how to use it properly.

Laptops might be a different story, too, I don't have a touch laptop so I don't know.
