The point is simply that there is no OS, driver or software barrier  
against using multi-touch. It's dead simple from a software  
developer's point of view.
The os is also perfectly usable with touch input. Just for the sake of  
it, I typed this message using the touch screen. So with everything in  
place, including hardware (e.g. the HP slate), it's up to the  
developers to come up with creative ideas - whether we're talking  
about the iPad or Win7.

Why should there be no innovation on the Win7 front? It's a powerful  
system with seriously strong development tools that is available here  
and now, there is no point waiting...
