Looks like that there’ll actually be something substantial to look forward to with Microsoft Windows 7 - Multi touch technology!

The MSN video below shows the Multi-touch technology in action on a Dell laptop. It seems to allow you to do everything that your mouse does today but better. Fiddly actions such as rotating and zooming in on photos, which normally require you locate the exact corners of picture objects, are a breeze with your fingers. You’ll see how you can locate areas and zoom in on maps and last but not least, play a virtual piano!

I have a feeling Microsoft will release more interesting little gadgets of Windows 7 as we draw closer to the 2010 official release date. ..

Screen grabs of Windows 7 have surfaced on CrunchGear with confirmation that it’s only approximately 3 years away.

If you look at the photos you’ll see that it does have an Apple Mac feel about it, especially in shots where the navigation bar is position at the bottom of the screen.

One thing we can learn from Microsoft is : if you ever want something to look better than it possibly really is, use vivid colours!
