Others are increasing. Apple is doing very well in a world surrounded by people who care about sleekness over function. Where does Linux have touch screen support? Josh, even though I like Linux a great deal, your comment is blatantly false. Parts of Microsoft are failing. Others are increasing.

Where does Linux have touch screen support?

It's not a new technology. It's most certainly useful for iphone / ipod type devices where simplification of the interface is a priority, but I can't see this working on laptop devices; at least not until the interface is very mature. Has anyone noticed that M$ are now using gimmicks to sell each new revision of windoze? Vista's gimmick was aero, which is pathetic compared to compiz-fusion on GNU / Linux. Revision seven appears to be using touch screen technology. If these are the best features which M$ can come up with, then I think we will all be switching to Linux / OS X.

LOL!
