[THIN] Re: Windows 7 Ain't gonna be much different than Vista

Doug that is a very NOVEL idea but I don't recall you getting paid for those 
720 pages of MIAB or those presentations you used to do with 148 slides. You 
might think you are a corporate sell out but when you rocked Geek Speak Live, 
once again like old times, you reminded me that you still my hero and that no 
one has the passion or the ability to get people fired up in discussion like 
DB!!!

PS- remember that cool award we gave Jim a couple of years ago for 10 years of 
TheThin? Did anyone ever tell him that we were out in front the hotel with a 
cigarette burning the parchment paper to age it and getting the strangest looks?

Ah, the things we do for Thin!!!!

me?   I don't remember but I do know you have been a The Thin for as long as 
there has been a thin...     Heck, I was just looking through some of the past 
post on the archive Jimmy sent out and I saw your name over and over...    
  
which actually brings me to another rant but I won't go in to it ...   
  
well just a bit...   Jim, you need a "TVP"  ThinList Valuable Person.....  I 
don't reply often if at all but I know guys like Greg, Joe, Steve, and a boat 
load of others do and have since I was a little boy playing with WinFrame... 
;)  To me those are the REAL stars...  I just read and learn....   You guys do 
it for free...   I make money running DABCC.com and others make money off it 
too and there is nothing wrong with that but you guys do it to help people for 
no other reason than to help people.  Now there is a Novell idea  (anyone get 
the joke?, Steve, Joe, Jim you should.. ;)  )  That is an amazing thing.  Be 
proud...  I am better off because of you guys.. that is for sure..

you and I have come a long way from emailing each other over iPaqs at iForum 
back when you first released your printing tools.

Yes, mutitouch is way cool  Came out of Microsoft R&D and is a lot like what we 
see on the iPhones...      I think it is very, very cool but then tabs are cool 
too but nobody really uses them.  Gates has been saying for years he thinks the 
keyboard is the thing of the past but I just don't know if I agree.  I love my 
keyboard and I type faster than  I write (not always as good but faster.. ;) )
 
 Anyhoo... Yah, way cool stuff Mr. Jim.  Very cool stuff.. I want a Surface... 
For what?  I don't know but I sure do want one.. But then I want a segway 
too.... And a new car, and a ... I want a lot of stuff.. And thanks to Greg I 
want a Mac Air and a quad core mac.  This thinlist is costing me too much 
money.. ;) LOL

Multitouch in Windows 7. Seems to be the same UI the MVP's played with and saw 
on the Microsoft Surface Table in Building 46 in Redmond.

 I just like the Mac as a desktop and the 24" iMac is just a great size and 
screen to have on your desk. I can boot it to Windows for general use
  but after a while I always miss the Mac OS "feel".
 
 I use a standard wireless keyboard and two button wireless mouse so there is 
no mouse envy there
 
 Keep in mind that I was a NeXTSTEP user going back to the  Winview and 
Winframe days so I have been doing this a long time. I naturally switch 
modifier keys between CNTRL and COMMAND so it is easy to cut and paste and 
navigate between platforms.. Also I avoided Mac OS thru 9, that was crap. When 
NeXTSTEP became Mac I was back in!
