The glittering Japanese release of Windows 7 has been set awry by the pathetic failure of the operating system’s touchscreen capability on prime morning television:
Although this is Microsoft’s best operating system since Windows XP, many could be forgiven for thinking this is setting the bar a little low.
Between moe Nanami Madobe and a 7 patty Burger King hamburger gigant (the “Windows 7 Whopper”), there is a notable lack of emphasis on the shiny new features of Windows 7 in the launch campaign.
Most interesting of all is how Microsoft have cunningly hijacked the “OS-tan” meme, which traditionally alludes somehow to the shortcomings of the operating system, for example Vista-tan’s enormous memory requirements being reflected in the size of her bosom.
Nanami appears on the other hand to be absolutely perfect, and has supplanted a fan-created OS-tan which might be embarrassing to Microsoft, although surely pictures of her impassively being groped are not far off…

I still think the Windows & OS-tan should've looked like Seven from Loveless... But that's too much of a stretch.
I never even knew Win7 had touchscreen support. I'd never trust it, though. Touchscreens are evil, no matter the operating system.
Bad demos and article sarcasm aside, I'm excited for Win7. It's better than Vista, easily, but everyone I've talked to - who knows what they're talking about - say it's better than XP. A few even specifically say better than Windows 2000, and from them, that is basically saying Windows 7 is the best of ALL the Windows systems.
Also, in b4 "Get a Mac".
Might be an Id10t error, you see a lot of those with new os's. My 7 is running pretty well (Better than Xp, which it what I was running, I jumped from about 20-30 fps, to about 40-45 fps, all that really matters to me) and only hipsters and journalists have an excuse to own a mac. If you don't like Windows, run Linux, any idiot can handle Linux.
Vista is still the best for Gaming...
Vista... Gaming...
Kyahahahaah
Vista the best for gaming?
Seriously dude, I'm running the Win7RC sice the summer. About every game I have runs a hell of a lot faster on it then it did on Vista.
In other words, don't discuss about something you don't know a thing.
I can only imagine hoe perfect every game will run as soon as they are actually made for win7...
Wow ;] all test are showing that win7 is equal or worse in game performance . I've Vista and freshly installed win7 on another rig with the same specs and i dont see any diffrences in performance ,even with fraps turned on framerates almost the same .
Yeah screw all that bullshit about the windows 7 and vista, look at that burger... where is all the cheese and bacon between the meat? if they served that in America it would triple their business.
^same here. I've installed Win7 2 days ago and went on a testing spree. I don't see and feel any major differences between Vista and Win7.
maybe it's because of the games i play. I can imagine that some might run better, that goes for the opposite as well though.
Which Idiot Says Vista is good for gaming????!!
Oh... sorry... i think you mean Bejeweled or Vista original games... maybe flashgames...
What a Joke man!!! Vista good for gaming!!? Bwahahahahaahah... It cant even run Left 4 Dead or COD 4 Modern Warfare smoothly!!! How can it be called Good for gaming!!?
the only thing vista is good for is directx 10, everything else is either a lot worse or the same
the only things win7 is good for is directx 10 and faster reading and writing capabilities, everything else is either worse or less functional...
And here's Windows 7 Demo working again (same presenter, same demo, same tv segment):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_gkLVwMAW8
windows 7 RC sure made me fap more than when i had the RC for vista... i actually avoided vista for a year because of that... it ran bad on my old P4... whats funny is my x2 3800 actually ran vista fast o.O
I don't think I'd use a touchscreen myself, something about it just doesn't seem right.
You just know people are going to spam this with Get a Mac anyway, even though half my programs don't work on it and all the great games are on PC.
Half your programs don't work on the computer itself, or don't run on the Mac OS? If the latter, there are ways to work around it.
the best work around being buy a PC.
Today a Mac is a PC at 100%... just a little overpriced!
A little? I can almost buy three PCs with Linux on them* for the price of one decent Mac.
*Running a couple of student versions of Windows under VirtualBox.
A little extremely overpriced amirite??
Also the ways people say to get around it is to use boot camp which is just a way to run windows. There is another way to run many of the windows programs and that is to use WINE but if you want to do that I would rather suggest a PC with Linux then a Mac since Linux can have a much better interface then Mac.
PS. WINE still doesn't run everything at 100% but it is pretty far along.
Actually the prices on the low-end portable Macs are quite reasonable considering the quality...
Quality? I lol'ed
Is artefact a mac user? or do you have multiple computers active at once?
Apple products - Manufactured by Foxconn.
All nvidia graphics cards, Dell, HP, Sony motherboards, and the PS2 and PS3 - Also manufactured by Foxconn.
:3
@08:40
Of course you can buy 3 PC's with the price of one Mac. Kinda like how you can buy 10 Lada's for the price of one Ferrari.
Go for it, lada-boy, the girls will be moist just by the sight of you cruisin' around the block.
For those of us looking for quality products with quality components, Apple offers a damn good price.
I bought a Mac laptop which was cheaper than an equivalent ThinkPad. Macs are clearly expensive, but not to that extent.
quality products. I lol'd.
Microsoft should of release Pedo Bear Windows 7.
persocoms for the win
a pedo bear and loli edition would be awesome
I know... lets pay for updates. thnx mac!
I agree I wouldn't use a touch screen but I believe they failed because they didn't have a computer that was good enough to run the system maybe they should have bought one for 500$
Is it Windows 7 fail or Sony touch screen fail?
Open for flame wars.
I think it's more of a compatability and support issue. I seriously can't understand why people trolling MS for this particular case- I mean if the touch screen was made by MS and it fail, then they got no excuse, however here the OS and the touch screen is made by different companies.
It's kind of like the Asus Republic of Gamers Mars -hardware wise it is the fastest and most expensive graphic card (Asus is only making 1000 of these), but Nvidia's driver ain't good enough to make it run well in games for both single card or in Quad SLI.
The logic is the same here- Sony made a new product...a touch screen in this case and MS's native touch screen support have some issue with it and can't working fully at the moment. But as long as MS and Sony is aware of the issue and do something about it, some updates on drivers and/or support should fix the problem.
Besides, how many us will be getting a touch screen monitor to use with Win 7 anyway? And I certainly won't be playing FPS games with touch screen...
well i own a tablet tx2z and i really hope its not that bad of a fail
cause i love photoshop with my stylus
lol@Mac, overpriced, non compatible pos with fixed system configurations
Enjoy your 6% market share (courtesy to USA retards, everywhere else you're just a rounding error in computer business)
Maybe so, but HP has a 22" touchscreen for $300 bucks now. - HP L2105tm
It has multi touch too.
I had high hopes for Windows 7, damn you microsoft, can't you do anything right? Also I'll get a mac when I no longer wish to play games.
Dude, just fucking try the software before bashing it you fucking sheep. Godamnit every one of you fucking guys bash everything after one bad article. I am not just talking about windows here.
I did retard, I downloaded and used the RC version, so stfu. I don't base my opinions on sankaku articles, otherwise I would be in love with sony.
And you still bash it? Then you're a fucking numb nut den. NOW GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM.
What's so special? It's a reskined vista that has been tweaked, your an idiot if you think any different.
(new anon) i agree with the reskined vista. everyone i know is saying how good windows 7 is and still bashing vista... i'm like "they're the same fucking os"
Anon 21:27 is the same Anon as 7:30, just to let you know. =)
I have a mac and a PC.
Apple computers are absolutely worthless. I wouldn't buy one on my free will even if they cost 1/4 of what a PC costs.
Apple products are toys. Unless you're gay of course. Then they will get you on the manrod train.
I think I hear this all the time, people accusing macs as toys, then complaining that there aren't enough games on them.
I've visited many offices and what I see is people getting jobs done on macs while pcs are used for games...
I think I hear this all the time, people accusing pcs as a purely gaming platform, then complaining that they aren't hip and trendy enough to be used.
I've been to many offices and what I see is people getting jobs on pcs while macs are used for music and browsing the internet.
The power of advertising your product as "what the elite use." So more people will use it because they think "Oh, I'm elite too!" or "I want to be elite!" It generates its own sales!
well, for one thing, since there are fewer games on macs than pcs, you would be more focused on doing your work.
then again, all the games worth their salt are on a mac.
but then again AgAiN, both are just BLOODY COMPUTERS!! JUST USE THEM!
What do you think people play on the PC's at work? Call of duty? At least not at a workplace that has their computers sufficiently secured so that dumbass users can't just randomly install whatever they want. A large portion of games played at work are flash games, which are viewable on both a windows and a mac. :/ You're tempted either way.
Funny that macs are ridiculed as hip and trendy. All I see is a platform that is virus free, very stable, uncluttered and gets the job done.
Oh yeah, most pc users don't pay for their antivirus and has lots of free time...
mac's run windows...
and everything else which a regular pc don't...
"virus free"
You're kidding me. There are plenty of viruses for OSX, just not as many as windows because virus coders want to get as many PC's infected as possible, and most PC's happen to run Windows.
Any PC is as cluttered as you make it. You can be very cluttered with a mac and a PC if you don't organize your shit.
What you get done is equal to the amount of effort you put into it. There are plenty of software that run on windows and don't on macs.
I also don't pay attention to my antivirus much because I don't need to since I'm not stupid enough to get viruses. Stop visiting free porn websites and maybe things will work out better.
Also, any PC can run OSX if you have an average-level IQ. EFI-X ftw.
@anon 20:16
you don't know the difference between viruses, trojan horses and malwares, do you?
yes there are malwares and trojan horses for the mac, but there exists not even one mac virus.
Faggot, no. Keep your shonen ai bullshit to yourself.
Hahahahaha! THERE'S the reply I was expecting!
You're late, straight-fag Anon. You used to react within 20 minutes or less! I get my pizza for free now!
I have Windows 7 on my tx2z laptop (fresh install) and the touch screen works fine on it. The TV station probably screwed something up, maybe they should try testing it before they are on air.
I originally had Vista and 7 seems faster. I am also going to install XP (dual boot) to test what ArcheR said about 7 being better than XP; but I will use a slimmed down XP, so my test might be biased.
did you just bring yoai into this you fag?
I think the Sony touchscreen was fighting back.
BTW, shouldn't they rehearse that before going on TV?
He said it was working in the rehearsal.
You've compared 7 only to one good OS: 2000. And who could guess that almost 10 years old OS is "a bit outdated"?
Compare it to 2003: something got better, something worse, overall - no reason to upgrade. (And I'm talking about home OS if someone didn't understand.)
Touchscreen system I use at work for processing lotto tickets is great. I don't think I've heard of anyone having a problem with it.
That said, it runs on Linux.
Why do people always blame the OS when there's an error, 99% of errors are created by users who think they need to install every bad coded crap
Meh, I bet it's just a normal Plasma and they're wondering why the Touchscreen's not working xD
idiot obviously not if they had it working when moving the windows around
Or may be someone is using a wireless mouse to fake it lol
Yep that is exactly it. It looks like the guy is using a wireless mouse later.
Wow, fail article.
+1
+2
+3
Average troll article from SC.
But, don't you know that one example equals all cases? lol
However, I do think that what Artefact is trying to point out is this: "there is a notable lack of emphasis on the shiny new features of Windows 7 in the launch campaign."
The OS-tan is pure Win though.
On second thought, I'm rescinding my ++ to the fail comment.
-10
OMG, the touchscreen isn't working!
This of course must be all Microsoft's fault, because it controls all touchscreens, and can never fail!
Probably some evil Bill Gates scheme to make the japanese guy ashamed!
Yes, Microsoft is evil!
Windows 7 is crap because a touchscreen isn't working!
All other operational systems are of course flawless!
XBox 360 sux!
And let's not forget *insert random Vista rant here, even if you never used it*
What? You are still using and only have good things to say about Vista? FUCK YOU! You don't exist *cover ears* LALALALALALA
Agreed. "pathetic failure of the operating system’s touchscreen capability" is some pathetic kind of "first thought". It can be a fault of variety of things from crooked hands of sysadmins to misconfiguration of the display.
Or they just didn't plug in the USB for the touch screen :P
They said it worked earlier that morning, the obvious interpretation would be that they tested it out (on stage) before going live.
Thus likely there was a driver bug causing it to stop responding.
L2J
If it's a driver bug it is still possibly NOT Microsoft's fault. Or do Microsoft write drivers for any touchscreens nowdays?
Yeah. Win7 RC handles input from my Wacom Bamboo tablet just fine, and even enables a bunch of extra stuff like swipe gestures for it.
But this performance looks about on par with a Dell tablet PC running WinXP.
"Touchscreen. Hey, touchscreen. Touchscreen, C'MON! HEY! *TAP TAP TAP TAP* There it goes..."
I know you're being sarcastic but as someone who uses a vista I can tell you that it would be impossible to have only GOOD things to say about it.
Ow it is possible as long as you have a decent computer. Good videocard and enough ram, disalbe the search indexer and Vista runs just fine.
So to all those people who installed Vista on their old XP-PC, you should had upgraded your hardware.
Still, I'm using win7rc since the summer and it is way better then Vista. In fact, it's Vista the way it should have been.
first.....OH SHI-
and fuck did you see that fucking Burger!!!
i would have sex with one of those!!!
p.s. andrew L. is a fagit pass it on
From your reply, I expect that you have never worked in fast food.
My manager made me eat a 12 patty burger as part of a rite of passage ritual to work in the back.
Without a drink.
"Time for the burger trial. Eat this 12 patty burger, or drink some "special" sauce."
I had to sing about the menu to some customers. Good times, s*** pay.
Aye, Fast food would be a great job if it wasn't for the crap pay, and the damned customers.
Is that burger for real? Looks like something out of GTA.
Just got Windows 7. So far it's actually running pretty good. And yes it beats Vista. It's functions are uber simplistic. And it's initial appearance is very clean. Sadly i don't have a touch screen :(
"It's functions are uber simplistic"
That's my main problem with it. They've tried to hide most of the features from the user and as such have made it much more difficult to do anything but the most basic tasks.
They should have called it Windows For Retards.
If you couldn't use this OS.. I'm thinking you're the retard.....
Just use your eyes a little it's free...
Even the most exotic features are what, 2 clicks farther away? While all the stuff people actually care about is easier than ever to use now.
That's kinda the damn point. After Vista people wanted quality over quantity...or rather speed over excessive features and RAM eating. If you're not satisfied with this, then screw you, basically.
Digne de microsoft.
Anyway is that girl in the end a japanese sysadmin?
Was this really the fault of the OS or is it the hardware?
Hardware, touch screen is nothing more than a mouse replacement. It works on all windows versions, Seven only offers multitouch.
Hardware fails
それ、中国版ってことじゃないですｗｗｗ 間違いなく首だろう
俺も思ったwww
~ Personally...
NEVER used any type of touch-screen program, (be it) comp or phone.
TOO RISKY (that) plus the smears of fingerprints and if you drop it (mobile) it's fucked.
Comp/Laptop screens ~ if touched the same way... fingerprint/smear issues.
However, I have used VISTA, so I am going to use Win7 and see what it's all about.
Every system when (introduced) will have glitches problems, and so forth... so until I have installed, actually used, compared (versions) XP, VISTA and Win7, and know what the problems - (really are) - verses the demo's of people using a specific *thing* on the program...
I hold my criticism...
THANK. YOU.
If more people acted this way on the internet, the world would be such a better place.
I am holding off judgment as well. I have been using Vista since getting a new computer a few weeks ago because it was built-in and is the only 64-bit O.S. I have right now. I like the way it looks, the way it is organized in some places, and my computer is good enough to run it smoothly, but I also see some of the reasons it is so hated. But using it for myself and being an experienced computer user, I find its reputation to be worse than it needs to be. Most of the reason Vista is hated were initial bugs at launch.
I'm excited about Win7 and very optimistic of it based on the reactions to it I have seen, but I still hold off on final judgment and I refuse to let Windows-bashing drag it down.
And touchscreens are evil. That is all.
I pretty much agree with everything except the last sentence. Whats wrong with touchscreens, what have they ever done to you?
Although mine is a tabletPC and I usually use the pen as opposed to my hands. Also if touch functionality starts bothering me I can turn it off.
First, they're fragile (in all but government contexts) and are magnets for fingerprints and the like. They only look nice the first few days, really. They're very finicky technology as well. There's a reason most touchscreen only react to single-point pressure. using two or more fingers to stretch objects, for instance, is VERY complicated.
But this is just me stating the obvious. Don't get offended for the touchscreens. I was being sarcastic, using a bit of hypocritical humor.
I basically denounce people calling Windows "evil", and then blame touchscreens for being just that. I find touchscreens to be overly frustrating or just plain uncooperative in TINY things a lot, but I don't hate them.
They just want to eat my face, rape my programs, and take over the world.
See what I did there?
Also try breaking your tablet Pc screen, fucking expensive to replace.
The guy who tried it there he said he rehearsed it many times just yesterday... So it just quit working by itself, for no good reason? Sounds like Windows!
Hmm, so they did test it beforehand.
Or MAYBE the monitor that was used in the show WASN'T a touchscreen and was just your avarage everyday monitor with no badass touchscreen xD
Yea! A google/apple spy sabatoshed the hardware before the demostration XD
It was a new generation computer virus for discrediting MS name.
Funny. I was talking with some others about this on the forums just a couple hours ago. But seriously, I have little faith left in Microsoft. Stick with WinXP, y'all!
Why? XP is slow bloated crap, 2000 has always been superior.
+9001
just to be safe, I'm sticking with 98
Eh, who cares? Where do I get the English Nanami Madobe theme?
You're asking for Pamela Anderson-style voices there...
fuck the English version, the Japanese voice is sooo kawaii!!!
who the hell wants to touch a screen anyway
mouse forever
A lot of people have been trained not to touch the monitor at all, so it'll probably be hard to get used to touching the screen anyway. It'd be nice if there were touch screen laptops, though. That'd be a better application for that kind of thing, I think.
Public computers often use touchscreens...
Rofl a mac users. Only reason why it's so much "safer" is because it's not as big as PCs are. Why would hackers go after macs when so little people use it? And just to let you know, someone hacked a mac in 10 seconds.
This certainly seems credible, since you listed your sources, and all.
I, for one, am completely persuaded by the above carefully worded argument!
Not to mention buying an inferior mac just to pay apple tax. Screw them...
How many Macs have you owned? i personally owned 2 and 4 PCs (not all at once) until you use one, and no i don't mean standing in a mac store I mean really use one for a month+ then you can talk.
Oh so you assume that I haven't. Nice counter point douche.
I have a 5 year old iMac and it started dying 6 months ago on me. Constant artifacting on the screen. Unfixable unless you replace the video card, and then it'll happen again because it's a heat issue. I even edited a file so that the fan will come on at a lower temperature.
On the other side, I have a couple 7, 8-year old Dells and IBMs that I abuse by testing their limits in performance and use them as dummy computers to test vulnerabilities and they're still going great. I only used the mac for sensitive things such as accessing bank accounts, tax things, etc.
what apple tax? I've been using macs since 1993, so I have been totally free from viruses, malwares and other shit for 16+ years.
You're a dumbass if you even visit sites that have viruses on them or open a random e-mail attachment clearly marked as a .exe
No smart computer user gets viruses. You use a mac because you're too stupid to know how to avoid viruses (tip: stay off the free porn sites and don't open the attachment labeled "notavirus.TXT.exe").
10:57 Anon fails big time.
Do you understand that buying a mac you could build a cost efficient PC(s)?
Also I was using Windows XP for 5 years now. I haven't had any viruses. So what are these... VIRUSES you say? You mean those autorun/batch files crap that you could delete and avoid easily?
Only time I'd need to reformat my PC is when the OS itself is faulty.
@anon 14:04
Let's try this analogy:
I don't fuck a whore because I'm too stupid to know how to avoid viruses? Maybe.
You can enjoy your adventures of avoiding viruses. Have a nice ego trip. So macho. I'm such a coward compared to you.
@anon 15:21
I see you have lots of time to nurture your OS. Good for you.
Reformatting? My OS doesn't get faulty.
Me, I'm not wasting my time or taking any chances. Call me stupid all you want.
SO he knew a back door beforehand your point being? Your average idiot knows several that are still unpatched (after years) in XP.
Sorry dude, your reasoning fails.
Hackers do their thing for two reasons: fame and money. Most mac users make a lot of money and frequently do online transactions.
And I'd like to see a reference to your 10 seconds claim. The default setting for any mac leaves the superuser deactivated so it's next to impossible for a hacker to gain an admin password online.
The amount of ignorance in your posts here are staggering. No OS is completely secure. There are always security flaws and you don't rely solely on MS or Apple patches to fix them; you configure and secure things by yourself.
Also, google white hat hacker and black hat hacker.
Did I claim that any OS is completely secure? I don't think so. Yet anon claimed that 10 seconds breach and is yet to prove it.
And there is a difference between invading a well-guarded fortress and invading, let's say, a warehouse. Not impossible, but much, much harder.
I remember that 10 sec thing. I think it happened in a PWN2OWN competition where the Mac OSX held for 10 (secs or mins?) because of a Safari vulnerability while the Vista SP1 took more than 24hrs and the Ubuntu Linux box a week.
Seriously, I hate Apple. Not macs, apple. and my Vista has been online without a firewall ever since and havent had any dire virii infect it (except for a few dumb-clicks while my UAC was turned off)
But I do respect certain Mac users though, that has been accustomed to using it already not just because of something like "ZOMG it's so kewl I own a mac u suck fagg0ts with your windows virus-loaded shit OS." If I was forced to use something else than Windows, I'd go Linux.
- here's the link to the story
http://www.infoworld.com/d/security-central/researcher-cracks-mac-in-10-seconds-078
- now if you read this carefully
The PWN2OWN rules stated that the researcher could provide a URL that hosted his or her exploit, replicating the common hacker tactic of enticing users to malicious sites where they are infected with malware. "I gave them the link, they clicked on it, and that was it," said Miller. "I did a few things to show that I had full control of the Mac."
- the hacker still depends on the stupidity of the user. he can't access the mac from outside by himself. and that vulnerability has since been repaired.
windows fail,nothing new here...i don't know how this is "news" material.
Probably because the issue isn't as bad as the ones present in Snow Leopard, eventhough Apple would like you to think otherwise.
Agreed. At least Win7 doesn't delete user data when you log in under a guest account.
anyone using a guest account have no right to write data anyway.
(you'd better be a troll or my faith in humanity will have been further decreased)
Guest accounts do have the ability to write data. How do you think you can navigate web sites on a guest account? Whenever you visit a website, all the stuff on the page you visited is downloaded and written onto the computer and displayed. You can't just "read" a webpage. The snow leopard bug was caused by people who had guest enabled before upgrading, and apple obviously did not fix all the bugs associated with it.
I didn't say guest users can't write data. Just that they shouldn't expect to keep theirs.
If it serves you better to see me as a troll then be my guest.
The problem wasn't with guest accounts losing their data. It was with EVERY ACCOUNT losing their data when you logged in as a guest.
Was. And was very rare. Not anymore.
touchscreen huh? I bitch about fingerprints on my laptop screen, and my tv, like hell i'd buy a touchscreen
The touchscreen functionality didn't work in a product demo! Must be a shitty OS!
Mmmm-hmmm. That looks like a tasty burger.
Yeah. This article should be about burgers, not M$. ^_^
heck,after seeing this pic the definition of "MS" started to look more like "multi-steak" rather than "MicroSoft"...but yeah M"$" set things straight.
*i'm on a far,far away failboat,apologizing for this failpost*
More like a heart-attack burger. Arteries filled with liquid gold.
I agree with whoever said that most OS errors are user created. I am using Vista and it never gives me problems and does everything I want no matter how much people bash it. If Win7 is better then hell yea I want it.
Who wants the touch screen? Every one that plays erotic visual novels with the girls in game who follow the players every movement and a almost complete merging of 2D girls with real life 3D action. Better possibly than last weeks under the LCD monitor actuator device to fap with no hands possibly. Other than the clean up problem.
small print says sony vaio doesn't work with microsoft xbox 360 I mean 7.

"Most interesting of all is how Microsoft have cunningly hijacked the “OS-tan” meme, which traditionally alludes somehow to the shortcomings of the operating system"
Sounds like they're taking hints from christianity!
Looks more like the touchscreen monitor failing rather than the OS itself.
HEY YOU DON'T BLAME CHINA FOR THAT FAIL VER NOT WORKING
Darn, it didn't blue screen...
Now that would've been just epic xD (rofl)
When I first got Vista I was one of those haters. But now that all the glitches have gone and I've customised it my way a bit I prefer it to XP. Windows 7 looks promising but I might hold off for now.
I have Windows 7 and it works like a charm. Don't have touch screen so don't know about that but the OS works fine.
Same here my friend. Same here. W7 is running just fine and loads a shitload faster than Vista and not to mention XP before any more anon fags start bashing how MS screwed up again and that the OS sux or is shit try it first. Then bash if you're not pleased though I doubt it.
+1. Been using it for months with no issues (since RC). The performance difference between this and Vista is like night and day.
I have w7 with Nanami (I expected a lil' more than 3 wp and a set of sounds but it's still awesome) and it works wonders.
LOL fail'd.
I'm rather surprised Mac conformist faggots haven't commented on this article commenting about the "superiority" of the Iphones touch screen, and Mac touch screen support...
I'm also rather surprised no Sony faggots haven't commented either.
Oh, wait, Sony uses Microshaft too..
Well I'll be damned...
/SK/ discuss
You said it, so we don't have to. Thanks.
May Windows 7 be a fool proof as the Xbox 360.
I bought a new laptop when Vista came out, I am not going to be that stupid again. I'll wait a while before getting into Windows 7 while they work out the bugs.
You don't get around the internet much, or outside of your room for that matter, do you?
At least it didn't red ring.
FIXED>.<
Because anonymous above is too stupid to spell.
lol this article is so full of fail, it not even about sales figure.
I bet some idiot forgot to install the touch screen drivers.
nanami is a Fresh Pretty Cure?
Agreed. However, I'm pretty sure Artefact is enjoying the website hits for even a "failed" article, it obviously brings him quite a bit of profit.
Also considering Artefact's great love of all things from good old "日本”,not to mention his constant support for all things Sony, failed or otherwise (He's never bashed the PSPgo), I'm sure this is just his attempt at bashing a product not made in the land of the rising sun.
I pray this is poorly rendered sarcasm and not mere idiocy.
And for the record, I am running Windows 7 and it is, though not perfect, the best desktop OS since Server 2003.
I pretty much know you did this just for shits. Just like some of the articles. :P
So you bash Sony once or twice a year, while we can expect some pointless MS bashing every two days.
And how does that make you feel?
What's so difficult to understand about the concept of posting what people want to see? There is just more to work with where MS is concerned.
Oh my, you actually read through all the commments? That's pretty impressive considering half of these comments are absolutely non-factual.
woop the theme is on mega upload though its just 3 wallpapers and some sounds i got i havent gotten it to work but its on megaupload extension X7V7NAYT
and dont forget to rename it rar and open in winrar
okay i got it to work its not really a theme but whatever it just just one wallpaper and sounds
to add sounds on vista just right click desktop pesonalize sounds and ad tem accordingly also i meant to add .rar to the end of the file name to turn it into a rar file double click and everythings their the wll paper is in 2134x1200 resolution which is pretty screwed up buts a nice fit
windows 7 home edition is 30 dollar for student. booyah!
The demo presentation = Fail
Windows 7 = Not Really or certainly nope.
Now if Win7 doesn't eat your hardisk for no specific reason like Vista does, I think I'm going to try this one..
So it seems like Seven's touchscreen support is about as good as Vista's voice recognition... not that neither is a decent replacement for the mouse or keyboard, respectively.
Then while you're at it, also go ahead and delete your system32 to save on hard disk space.
Stupid troll...
deleting system 32 is the dumbest thing ever and im not a troll
One of my favorite things to do: using regedit on the demo machines at Costco to delete vast portions of the registry.
Ok sure there was some technical difficulties, but Windows 7 is the best Windows OS to date. Windows XP is shit compared to this. I need a new computer soon.
now i wanna whopper
Nice burger...
that burger = lock jaw o.o
The biggest complaint about windows 7 is someone ran into a problem demoing a touchscreen?
Looks like Artefact is Mac fanboy.
I own one I bought to test the waters. All my workstation type computers run Windows, and all the servers we operate run Linux.
Wow. Are you me?
idiots its not even a touch panel monitor.
your the idiot because it is
really smart ass?
LOL.
I'm quite surprised you answered, and yes it was a failed attempt at sarcasm. Just trying to kill all and any detractors to Windows 7.
Still, It's quite surprising to see so much support for Microsoft considering some of the comments I've read previously on this site.
Ah, whatever, I've put off installing this new OS long enough. I'll do it right after this comment.
To the guy with the megaupload link, post some pictures or GTFO.
There FIXED.
My bad Artefact.
i love win7, i plan to change my XP to win7 this week. i don't really care about the touchscreen issue since i don't use touchscreen anyways
95 is still the best
hnnnnnnnnnnnnnng
I'm never going to update my xp, i'm happy with it and it works, whats so special about 7 anyway for me to even consider it?
Eating that burger is like just asking to have a heart attack.
the new taskbar is nice... once you get used to it you don't want to get back to xp style taskbar. it support 64bit (there is xp 64bit, but it's hard to find and really isn't supported very well) which will be handy if you got 4GB+ memory. It's less prone to bluescreen error and a lot more stable. And if you are a gamer, you essentially need it because of the DX11 support (maybe not now... but when you upgrade to at least DX10 graphic card you'll want to have an OS to take an advantage of it... either Vista or Win7.. between the two, the choice is obvious).
Now, basically if someone happy with what they've got, then they don't need to change their OS (especially if you have an older hardware). Why fix something that ain't broke? but moving into the future, you'll need to ditch XP and move to a better OS that can take advantage of your hardware.
Btw, there are a lot more to Windows 7 than what I just described, but those are the simplest stuff that are easy to understand. I'm sure if you goggle it you'll find other reason that people switch to Win7 from XP.
As for Vista user... if you have the money you might as well upgrade it to Win7 because Win7 is basically what Vista should be.
The only thing that might prevent someone from upgrading to Win7 is application compatibility. For simple app that doesn't hook to the system deeply (basically no 3D games, no antivirus like program (example: you have an av prog that isn't compatible with Win7 and you want to install it in Windows XP mode hoping that your Win7 can use the protection.. don't)), you can use Windows XP mode under Win7 (which is a Virtual PC with Windows XP, you can get it for free if you have Win7 pro, enterprise, or ultimate..) as long as you have processor with vt tech or you can use other virtual pc alternative.
Sorry for the long-ish post.
Security. Because you won't get any more patches for XP so enjoy your future potholes.
MS still actively put security patches for Windows XP, so those that still want to use Windows XP is welcome to use it. XP I believe is still have the largest user base, so to stop supporting it is kinda stupid. Not to mention that they have that Windows XP mode in Win7...
It will not be updated with new features though.
If anyone doubt that MS still put security patches for XP, just go to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx
They should've tested it ahead of time.
oy... for all you fools who think that upright touchscreens are the future, take a look at http://www.10gui.com . THIS is the FUTURE of touch input.
That was an interesting session (though it would have been so much fun with sound actually working). Will check out when sound is present.
Thanks for the link :).

If you read up on its history vista was just filler because windows 7 was taking to long :)
Nice Sony screen there, if only it worked properly.
Okay, they did that on PURPOSE.
I wonder is that really a touch screen monitor..
maybe someone sabotage the show and change the monitor?
the picture is really creepy.
but windows 7 is the best.
too bad i cant buy it because i wont able to connect internet.
Ha! They gave up on vista to soon, also to add more wood to the fire, macs sucks, linux sucks, vista is better than all but XP, and flame all ya want i'm not coming back to read this.
windos 7 sucks
LOL xD i trol u
Linux is better.
Might the touchscreen failure be an issue with the hardware, rather than the software?
Possibly it could be an issue with either as we can't tell from just watching a video.
I'd never want to go back to the bad old days of XP.
Try searching through terabytes of stuff with xp then try it with vista/windows 7 search.
Anyway you can't tell if it's a problem with the touchscreen being intermittent or a software issue.
Pipo~n

Oya?
Areeeee?
Shattodaun suru ne.
windows 7 release fail?
more like japanese touchscreen fail
I'm so happy I'm a hipster, because that means I'm allowed to have a Mac instead :3
I am working on windows 7. Works well with my touchscreen and tablet. This movie on japanese TV was a failrue but seriously windows 7 rocks. Cute vista look and compatibility of windows XP.
Just FAIL!!! its like the Presentation of Win95 with Bill Gates shows the new Options of printer support.
*BlueScreen* xD
Its an error of the screen. At http://vcl.vaio.sony.co.jp/product/vpc/vpcl11zhj.html Sony states that the screen may sometimes go into sleep mode and becomes unresponsive.
It's not a good OS system if you play games. Will wait a bit more when the drivers are ok.
Greatest thing about Windows 7 so far for me: When I play a non-widescreen game on my laptop, it actually matches the ratio when I go fullscreen rather than stretch it out. Does the same for my secondary monitor. Though the question is why are people still making games without widescreen support...
As a student in the US I was able to purchase 7 for $30 through win741.com. Any students should check that out, basically all you need is a .edu email address. Some other countries have similar deals.
It was staged by apple!
TexanGuy
if there could only be a drawing of her being attacked by PC Guy and have Mac Guy looking at neked pictures of guys in Play Girl... or something.
The Fist pic of nanamichan is awesomely AWESOME!!!
Windows sucks
Snow Leopard rulez!!
For those who haven't seen the working version.

I run linux most of the time with cedega it can run most windows games.
Just make sure to get a very good video card but then IGPs don't do games well even under windows.
Wow, You can totally tell that there isn't any bias from this site relating to anything Microsoft.
I thought that they were bias with the PS3, but dang! If you want me to I could find a video on youtube where Mac's new snow leopard, and PS3's fail too...
This article is EPIC FAIL.
Microsoft is slowly groping...i mean...embracing the moe marketing. They really learned from their X360 division lol.
Still a faithful XP user here, yup that's me. XD
LOL! An epic fail!
:D
Total fail!!
as to be expected from microshaft
Windows malfunctions on the people trying to demonstrate its superiority, you say?
Plus ça change...
*sigh* Murhpy's Law in action. Luckily, it's just touchscreen support (like ArcheR said: they're evil, except for cellphones) and not the overall OS like Vista pre-SP1. I'll still dual-boot RC1 until the wheels fall off in March, then I'll install my free 7 Pro edition.
"...for example Vista-tan’s enormous memory requirements being reflected in the size of her bosom."
Enormous memory requirements? More like enormous mammary requirements!
Apple just emulates windows 95% of the time.
Linux can't be used by anything other then home users since it can't avoid running some of windows exclusive programs for the business world.
Fuck off to the windows haters.
