Microsoft has decided to radically change the usual way of interaction of the user with a personal computer.

In particular, participants of the event demonstrated the multifunctional "touch-screen» (touch-screen) - the screen responds to touch. With its help in the upcoming operating system will be controlled by the fingers literally everything that happens on the screen (this is now used primarily for the manipulator of the "mouse").
