Windows 7 multi-touch demo isn't enough to save Microsoft's OS (thestandard.com)

Okay, maybe it's not mindblowing, but Microsoft's OS doesn't need 'saving.'

It does very much so in the sense that users are not viewing it as an upgrade worth using. Sure Microsoft is wining on the front where it is preinstalled on all new systems, but they haven't given anyone a compelling reason to get Vista, or 7 for that matter.
