Touch screen Widows to replace the mouse?

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates (upper picture) said its next operating system will be made for touch screen applications, an alternative to the computer mouse.

An iPhone-like touch-screen operating system that could be the start of mouse-less computing.

Gates, along with his Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer (lower picture) defended their last operating system Vista.

Bill Gates said he has never been 100 percent satisfied with any Microsoft product, and that the company prides itself on fixing shortcomings in later versions.

Gates us not alone. I think it is safe to say that most Microsoft Windows users have not been 100 percent satisfied either.

The Windows 7 operating system, which will use touch screen technology, is scheduled for release in late 2009. If history repeats itself, Windows 7 may stay in beta until 2011 so don’t be in a hurry to throw your mouse.
