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.

@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.
