this is my first question, i hope it's in the right place in the forum!!

On you tube there is a video showing photographs being manipulated/resized/moved by touching an LCD screen.

Is this a specialist LCD screen? How does this element of Windows 7 work on normal LCD monitors?

Does Windows 7 require an hardware upgrade?

Thanks:o

Yes those are touchscreens. I'm sure there are ways to get a normal LCD upgraded but in this case it most likely that we'll see it come standard in tablets, some notebooks and monitors. Personally I think its a tad gimmicky but definitely cool nonetheless.

Touch screens are always fun, but it needs the right hardware. You do need a touch screen in order to use that feature, but it is built into the OS. If you have one, it should be easy to use.

I'm curious to know if you find yourself using them a lot or does the novelty wear off? I'm seriously considering a tablet convertible as my next laptop purchase.

It's a HP Touchsmart computer in that video. It looks like an IMac, but with touchscreen. And running Windows 7 of course.

I used it a lot when I was in my school multimedia course. We did a lot of artistic stuff on computers in Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, etc... Other than the art/drawing stuff though (Crayon Physics Deluxe anyone?) it doesn't get much use.

Wow, This is my first thought of, "I'm getting older" Painting on Touchscreens
