As you may have heard, Microsoft claims to have 'innovated' something -- the
touchscreen. But wait. It's not just the same old thing. It's horizontal.
And it's larger. Wow! INNOVA~1. Didn't we see the Linux guy playing computer
games (Wine/Starcraft) with a laid-down touchscreen and two hands? X has
been handling multiple cursor-based devices for a long time.
In other news, Microsoft plays catch-up with Google Earth, who began dealing
with 3-D city models before they did.
