Considering the usual position that a monitor occupies would it not be a tad inconvenient to have to reach out to touch the screen every time you needed to change something on it? :-/ :-/

Cant see why you'd want one tbh, smears all over the screen etc. If youve ever had to "sign" for a delivery on  one of those hand held gadgets that couriers use now one look at the state of them would put you off. The better half couldnt get on with her touchscreen phone either.

Seen them in pubs and shops etc.

Does Windows XP, Vista or 7 support them.

Are there any advantages to using them.

TIA.   

Something I have been looking into recently - in fact I was gonna put up a post if anyone knew of a good supplier.

Virtually all work as a virtual mouse, so as long as you can get a driver for your OS for the touchscreen, it 'works'. Usually, its just a 'click', so no dragging etc, though Windows 7 does have more of this touch functionality built in.

Thats a shame, this was the sort of info I hoped would get posted.

I took it as the title says as a "touch" screen so my theory seems right .

As a long shot I was hoping it could be used like the screens in the New Knight Rider HQ, at best something like drag and drop might of been nice.  So looks likes the best app would be a big touch screen calculator.

not seen that tv prog, they started that shite up again? aint The Hoff a bit old for tight jeans and leather jackets?


I believe win7 offers some level of touch you are after, but I've not tried currently

The Hoff appeared once and that was it.

Shows different as to be expected, load of hi-tech, but the car can transform now......whoopee do. :-/

Sounds even more shite than the original

It's the closest OS that comes with it built in, although touchscreen will work with any OS with the right drivers/software (I've seen it working on NT4 in our local).

Pretty certain its installed by default on most of the Redhat standard options
