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…

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.
Linux is better.
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
windows 7 release fail?
more like japanese touchscreen fail
Pipo~n
Jaja~n
Pirorin
Ja~n A-, shistemu eraa da
Oya?
Areeeee?
Shattodaun suru ne.
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.
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.
95 is still the best
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
I wonder is that really a touch screen monitor..
maybe someone sabotage the show and change the monitor?
Okay, they did that on PURPOSE.
oy... for all you fools who think that upright touchscreens are the future, take a look at http://www.10gui.com [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 :).

Nice Sony screen there, if only it worked properly.
If you read up on its history vista was just filler because windows 7 was taking to long :)
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.
LOL! An epic fail!
:D
Still a faithful XP user here, yup that's me. XD
Microsoft is slowly groping...i mean...embracing the moe marketing. They really learned from their X360 division lol.
Total fail!!
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.
"...for example Vista-tan’s enormous memory requirements being reflected in the size of her bosom."
Enormous memory requirements? More like enormous mammary requirements!
Win7 is OK, but I hate the fact that it lacks a decent network browser. You can't even see computers on the network by Workgroup which makes it quite useless when I'm working.
It lacks loads of stuff. For all the huge bloat, no decent media player (mkv support etc), no music player, no normal browser, have to pay extra for decent office software, etc. etc.
Wasn't the whole rationale for paying them money that you'd get maximum functionality without the hassle?! So why the hell are we downloading so much freeware and buying/pirating software just to bring a new PC's functionality up to the level of a CHEAP CELLPHONE?!?!
*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.
Windows malfunctions on the people trying to demonstrate its superiority, you say?
Plus ça change...
as to be expected from microshaft
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.
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.
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.
Just FAIL!!! its like the Presentation of Win95 with Bill Gates shows the new Options of printer support.
*BlueScreen* xD
The Fist pic of nanamichan is awesomely AWESOME!!!
For those who haven't seen the working version.
