NVIDIA and Windows Touch

Windows 7 will change the ways you interact with your PC. How you ask? Windows Touch.

Touch refers to the way Windows lets you interact directly with a computer using a finger. Compared to using a mouse, keyboard, or pen, touch can be much more engaging, natural, and convenient.

The Windows Touch technology in Windows 7 is an evolution of the technology that is rooted in Windows Vista. In Windows Vista, single-touch input improved the interaction when using the pen stylus and the mouse of earlier Tablet PC platforms. With Windows 7, users can directly manipulate their computer environment through multitouch for the first time. Users can use a variety of gestures directly on their computer screen to move data, including:

  • Touch, or mouse-such as behavior: tap, double-tap, right-click, drag, and select.
  • Touch gestures- such as Flicks (navigational and editing).
  • Multitouch gestures-- such as zooming in, zooming out, panning, and rotating.

A Windows 7 PC powered by NVIDIA GPUs will deliver faster, more engaging Windows Touch experiences. NVIDIA GPUs are well known for accelerating 3D interfaces. The Windows 7 Aero desktop, now designed using the DirectX 10 API and designed for Windows Touch, is no exception. From the new taskbar previews to Aero Peek, Flip, Snap, and Shake, NVIDIA GPU provides a snappy 3D experience. Windows 7 also uses the GPU to reduce memory consumption by half by eliminating the need to keep a second copy of each window in system memory. This frees up system memory for other applications and keeps your PC responsive.

Multi-touch capability was designed into the core of Windows 7 and is a perfect fit for the new highly visual GPU-accelerated applications like Cooliris and Super Loiloscope. Cooliris lets you browse the web in 3D and now with the addition of Windows Touch, the experience becomes even more immersive. With Super Loiloscope you can have fun creating videos and applying effects with the touch of your finger.

Get Microsoft Silverlight

Touch input does not replace the keyboard and mouse, it enhances them. Touch is a natural and intuitive way to interact with you PC when you are doing common computing tasks such as:

  • Web browsing
  • Interacting with photos
  • Playing games
  • Organizing music and video (creating playlists, sorting media, and organizing content)
  • Reading and sorting e-mail
  • Using documents
  • Managing a Windows workspace

As you can see, your Windows 7 Touch experience will be faster, smoother, and more immersive with an NVIDIA GPU in your PC.

Windows 7 Ten Things That Still Need Fixing

Flawless? Windows 7? Of course not. Think of these ten areas as constituting a working to-do list for Windows 8.

1. OVERALL CONSISTENCY: For a Microsoft product, Windows 7 is quite refined. But it still suffers from needless inconsistency. Why do most of its tools place menus on the left, while Internet Explorer 8 and the help system shove them over to the opposite end? Does the new media-sharing feature (HomeGroup) have zero, one, or two capital letters? Why does Office 2007’s Ribbon interface show up only in Paint and WordPad?

2. THE NAMES OF THINGS: Too often, Microsoft’s naming decisions confuse rather than clarify. ‘User Account Control’ has nothing to do with the feature it supposedly describes; ‘Action Center’ sounds like Ron Burgundy’s local TV newscast. And an OS that already has a feature called Device Manager shouldn’t call a new feature ‘Devices and Printers’.

3. WINDOWS UPDATE: The operating system’s built-in patching capability is essential. But Windows Update is also the OS’s most irritating carryover feature. Tell it to download and install everything without your further intervention (as Microsoft recommends), and it may still insist on rebooting when you are in the middle of important work—or deny you access to your computer altogether while it installs updates.

4. SEARCH: Windows 7’s Federated Search lets you add external sources like Flickr and YouTube to Windows Explorer searches. But the OS doesn’t help you find those sources and doesn’t mention Federated Search in its help system.

5. HELP: Help...needs help. Some sections target nerdy command-line afi cionados; others address clueless newbies. Few sections focus on intelligent-butbusy users of intermediate experience.

6. FLIP3D: Press Windows-Tab, and you get Vista’s fancy 3D task switcher, which pointlessly requires you to cycle through tasks one by one. This duplicates the functionality of Alt-Tab instead of enabling you to get to any task in a couple of clicks, as Apple’s similar Exposé does.

7. BACKUP: Win 7’s Backup and Re - store Center no longer requires you to de - vote an external hard drive to a full system backup. But it still isn’t as easy to use as Apple’s Time Machine. And Microsoft’s decision to put network backup only in Windows 7’s priciest editions is just silly.

8. VERSIONITIS: Having multiple versions of Windows is fine in theory. But in reality, their minor, subtle, and arbitrary differences invite confusion. Misleading names like Windows 7 Home Premium— the only Windows 7 Home version available in the United States—don’t help.

9. INTERNET EXPLORER 8: Windows 7’s bundled browser is perfectly adequate. But it’s playing catch-up with innovative competitors such as Firefox and Google’s Chrome, not setting new standards.

10. DOCUMENT VIEWING: Like Vista, Windows 7 lets you create applicationindependent documents that use Microsoft’s PDF-like XPS format to retain their original formatting. But PDF is pervasive and XPS hasn’t caught on, so wouldn’t it be infinitely more convenient if Windows 7 supported PDF out of the box?

Browser Wars I & II

In the beginning (around AD 1994) there was Mosaic, a small, primitive HTML browser that first popularized the Web. Mosaic was created at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign by a bunch of hotshot programmers, many of whom moved to Silicon Valley and created the next big breakthrough, a much faster browser forever remembered as simply Netscape. Netscape Navigator was the browser of choice until the late ’90s when Microsoft released Internet Explorer (IE was first licensed from much of the lingering Mosaic code) and the first browser war ensued.

With a good initial product and its fabled marketing might, Microsoft captured more and more users and pulled ahead as the mainstream Internet browser. Netscape slowly faded into history. While IE began to dominate, however, it added everything and the kitchen sink. The browser bogged down and broke down more than many users could tolerate.

As time went on, the Web was supercharged with 2.0 apps. More and more ’Net apps, such as messaging, voice apps, streaming video, chat, social networking, and online word processing became popular. With Web 2.0, having a fast, reliable Web browser has become more important than ever. In a response to changing needs, a number of alternative browsers have come out to challenge IE. A second browser war is now in full force. This time, Internet Explorer faces stiff competition from Apple Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome. The focus of these browsers is a return to an efficient, secure, and fast browser that can get the most out of Web 2.0 apps. Regardless of who wins the next browser skirmish, users are the ultimate winners with a better way to view and use the Web.
