Touch in Windows 7: Just for show?

RE: Touch in Windows 7: Just for show?: What about all current users that want to try this new technology on our current systems? From what I've seen here these screen 'overlays' will cost hundreds, if not more.
To make this technology take off, would be a low cost add on for anyone's current computer monitor. Something your could attached around the edges of your screen to capture the finger movements.
Then, as the number of uses grows, the 'killer app' may appear.
I've wanted to try this 'touch screen' stuff since 'longhorn' betas were out. But there is no way to do with my 24" wide screen monitor. You could get a small 15" or 17" touch screen off ebay, but there are no drivers for them. Plus the small size kind of defeats the purpose of this new technology.; Posted by: klund1@...
