It looks about retarded, why do they keep targeting the 'family ppl'? Why not the gamers, Microsoft hasn't done a thing for us, as gamers. They need to make a gaming OS.

maybe you didn't realize they are targeting gamers, these will be in casions with tons of various touch screen games.

Plus gamers are dumb and the market is set, there is too much risk for something like that in the game market. Remember the hologram games sega made?
 
Its right something like this would not be very use full gaming wise....it would be like a Wii cept we use fingers instead of a controller.

Tho I would kill to get a "gaming" OS...but that won't happen still its a good dream to dream.

It's always the way, its like a social stance that everyone everywhere adopts no matter what thier technological orientation, somewhere along the way, we have all been groomed to hate MS and everything they do, and for no viable reason either.

This is a great product from microsoft using existing technology. Note that it is existing, it already exists and MS didnt make it, this is just their product uising multi-point touch screen technology. I can't quite see where everyone get's their hatred from

Over here, they call it the tall poppy syndrome, people just tend to hate market leaders, the big corporation, etc
But the amount of good that Microsoft dollars do in the world, due to the philanthropy of Bill gates is in my opinion something to really be admired.
Those surface touch screens reminded me of back in the day when I used to play pacman and star wars and galaga on those tabletop game machines.
I dont think it is so much about games, it is more about the future and search/advertising, I dont think microsoft will ever rest till they have beaten google at their game. They have shown they can come from a position of nowhere to take on sony in the console market.
 
It's a good idea, but it would get to the point where cash is none existant and banks will know eveything you've brought. All your medical files will be on computers, cameras everywhere and your tv is intergrated with your computer and your web cam is always on.

Was george orwell right?

Lol, just joking. (or was i?)

I don't want touch screen, that is for convienience. They already have those touch-screen arcade games, Megatouch or w/e it's called. If they were targeting gamers, Microsoft would implement something of their own to stop background tasks and maximize performance.

no gamers don't want that crap, they want the same old recycled crap over and over again. How many times can you play a FPS and think its original?

And please a Gaming OS? Just disable all that crap you don't need from running in the background from windows and you have yourself a gaming OS.

This is a screen shot of the holographic fighting game sega put out. I remember playing this game when I was a kid and liking the conecpt. It never caught on. It reminded me of the holographic chess like game that R2D2 plays against Chewbacca aboard the millenium falcon, but like street fighter instead

Since Microsoft wants to own everything anyway, I don't see why they wouldn't make a gaming OS.

why would they need to make a gaming OS when every hardcore gaming moron already goes out and buys vista ultimate?

Not many gamers are morons, except for the ones with more money than brains. Vista is far from a gaming OS, it is so "user-friendly", for the ppl who think their mouse overheats:rolleyes:.
 
It seems to be a neat twist on already out there technology, I wonder the price of one of those things and could it be a part of future homes?
 
I would. But watch, it worse than Vista. LOL!!!

"SHIT!" It wont recognize my cell phone!"
"didn't you just buy it for that thing specifically?"
"Yah, i didn't see they were still beta drivers..."

Maybe because heavy gamers are less than 0.01% of the world's population? :rolleyes:

But Microsoft is even trying to own Youtube, the news network, why not gaming? I don't get it, you would think they would. If they don't make a gaming OS, they sure as hell better hope they don't leave it open to ppl like me, after I get some programming experience.
