• I can see that the touch screen can be used in certain applications like a tablet pc, but for overall general consumer use, it may not pan out. Besides, anyone who likes to eat bbq chips or fritos will not be able to use it without messing up the display. It's like CSI overdone with the fingerprinting!

  It makes no sense to make software, then have stuff wrong with it, then charge extra to fix it.
  
  Windows should have as much security as possible straight out the box. But of course, that's in a perfect world.

• Technology is now
  Has anyone considered the "kiosk" interface for desktop systems? There are plenty of touch screens used right now for infomation booths and photo machines.
  
  Just develop an LCD/flat panel for touch screen apps and people could use fingers to point and click directly on the screen. This could be used in cojunction with the keyboard for data entry.
  
  I know the screens will get icky and dirty (just don't eat cheetos when you need to use the pc)-lol.

• HP Comeback
  I would think that the Dell slippage has also to do with some of their PC's (battery recall and mobo/capacitor problems).
  
  BTW..this same story is on usatoday.com, not just cnet.

• Three options--I agree
  I see the same thing. In fact, could not MS give the user the option of installing certain features?
  
  For example, if I'm in an corporate environment, and I configure a new pc for my users, then there should be options in the setup to turn off features like media center, music, etc.
  
  Similar to MS Office, have a customized options of features to be installed or not instead of selling us extra versions.

• Atari 800XL
  My first computer was an Atari 800XL also, back in 1985. Somehow, my mom figured out that I wanted a computer, and I was very, very, very happy!
  
  I used the 1010 tape drive also. 64K (actually 48K) seemed enough for the programs that I typed in from the computer mags. Unfortunately, I had problems with my daisywheel printer.

• That's what I'm talkin' 'bout
  ...what about floppy disks? Wouldn't they have been a security risk all this time? Sounds like a little too much techno-paranoia.

• You are right!
  It really gets me how it will now take foreign countries to actually teach our children what should be taught here at home. Something seems rather odd about this.
  
  We can only expect to outsource just about everything in this country. That way, only big corporate execs get fat pockets.
