will this work in Vista? any other 17-19in touchscreen recommendations that are Vista compatible?

well if you can plug it into your computer then it is compatiable.

touch screen for a PC is very unncessary...

Touch screen computers are evolutionary IMO.

You just have to have the software to back it up, Something that most OS's are obviously lacking at this point.

The thing I'd be worried about with touch screen would be drivers. I didn't look too much at the page, but be sure there are some for vista... Otherwise, I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I don't see much reason for it. Tablet PC's and all are great because you can actually cradle them. It's much less natural to use touch screen on a PC unless you're setting up some kisok or something.

Heh, Imagine gaming with one.

And you'd have to be careful about cleanliness, You wouldn't want cheetos stains all over it.
