Touch Screen Monitors
« on: 19 January 2010, 00:14:32 »
Seen them in pubs and shops etc.

Does Windows XP, Vista or 7 support them.

Are there any advantages to using them.

TIA.   :y

I'm sure once the novelty value wore off, you wouldn't tend to use them much. Maybe to impress friends etc.  :-/

I've used one just to try them out in a shop with Windows 7 on it .. and i found that i had to touch down on the icon or path hard to get it to work and do something .. i think there just a quick money making thing .. just a fad !

I would never get one .. good old fashion mouse will do for me .

My wife uses touch screen technology (in her mind) as when pointing things out she presses the screen as though it is going to obey her. It is her age I think.
Fingerprints all over the screen.

With the right drivers any OS can support touch screens.
