07.01.2008Notebook players paying close attention to multi-touch
Hewlett-Packard (HP) is planning to stir up the touch panel notebook market with multi-touch technology at the end of this year, and with Windows 7,
which according to Microsoft will include features to take advantage of multi-touch capabilities, on the horizon, notebook industry players are paying
close attention to the development of multi-touch technologies.
Touch panel tablet PCs are mostly niche market products currently and
usually single-touch only due to costs and limited software support. However, notebook industry players believe multi-touch has the potential to take
off in the mainstream market thanks to handset devices such as the iPhone. Windows 7 will also be key for promoting multi-touch since it enables
multi-touch interfaces as part of the Windows operating system, the sources noted.

not be a feature available on their desktop or notebook line in the near future, yet the rumor mill still brewed and with the discovery of these LG

01.10.2009Microsoft Launching a Windows
Vista TFT Monitor
Widescreen 22in
display to make best use of
the operating system's
graphics.
Microsoft is
launching a computer monitor
that it claims will best show
the new functions and features
in its Vista operating
system.
The
software giant is working with
Samsung to build a
high-resolution, 22in
widescreen Vista Monitor,
which is due for release
around the same time as the
operating system.
Vista has been designed to
look best when using a
widescreen display, and
Microsoft wants to ensure that
as far as possible users take
advantage of this. By
producing a Microsoft-badged
monitor, it can promote
widescreen Vista use to those
who upgrade from Windows XP or
buy a new PC running the
operating system.
Samsung confirmed it
is working with Microsoft to
build the monitors. Ami
Randhawa, monitor product
manager at Samsung, said: ?The
demand is being driven by
Vista. It will be branded
Microsoft, but built by
Samsung.?
Microsoft was contacted, but
said: ?Microsoft does not
comment on rumour and
speculation.?

22.11.2007Matrox Moves the Monitor Away from PC
Matrox today announced the release of their new device called Matrox Veos, designed to build multi-monitor configurations where displays can be at a
significant distance from one another. Veos is capable of carrying multiple channels of content along a single copper-based cable with over 100 meters
of extension per component across an unlimited number of iterations, with zero loss to image quality. This means that image quality is picture perfect
across all channels, no matter how many components are installed: 1 or 100. Because Veos is digital, the image quality remains consistent, whether
resolution is 1080p or 1280x768, and whether you are driving a single channel, or three channels of content.

29.04.2008Process Monitor 2 Released
If you have any need to find out what your computer is
really doing under the hood, you know that Process Monitor is
the tool.
Today, Process Monitor 2.0 was released. From the
Sysinternals blog:
This major update to Process Monitor adds real-time TCP and UDP monitoring to its existing process, thread, DLL, file system and registry
monitoring. You can now see the TCP and UDP activity processes performed, including the operation (e.g. connect, send, receive), local and remote IP
addresses and DNS names, and operation transfer lengths. On Windows Vista, Process Monitor also collects thread stacks for network
operations.

01.10.2008Introducing the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7
At Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital conference
about a year ago today, Julie
Larson-Green first introduced Walt Mossberg to Windows 7 and its multi-touch capabilities, which we call Windows Touch. While weve been working on
bringing natural user interface to you in many Microsoft products, we first introduced multi-touch in
Microsoft Surface. Since then, the Windows and Surface development teams have been collaborating
closely on bringing multi-touch to Windows, and last year demoed a few applications they created to run on Windows 7. Today, we thought it would be
fitting on this śanniversaryť of first talking about Windows Touch to introduce the Microsoft Touch Pack for Windows 7.
