Microsoft recently announced some features of Windows 7. The main part of their demo was Windows' newest "cool" feature: multi-touch.
At this point, people immediately jump on Microsoft. They feel that Microsoft is, once again, "stealing" from Apple. But, how exactly? Microsoft has been developing Surface for a while now, and they've been talking about if for even longer. Just because Apple came out with the iPhone (which has multi-touch) first, Microsoft is "stealing". Also, people claim that the multi-touch track pad on the overly-expensive MacBooks is a demonstration of "multi-touch"... but what Windows 7 displays is for tablet PCs.
People feel that Microsoft is focusing too much on this stuff without fixing Vista problems. Well, at this point Microsoft has only really released info about multi-touch, so honestly we don't know much about what Windows 7 will really have in store for us.
Once again Microsoft is jumped on, and Apple is given WAY too much credit.
