Multitouch hyped, then cut from Windows 7

Microsoft has demoed a multitouch interface for its "real-soon-now" windows 7 this week.

This prediction says that like WinFS for Longhorn/Vista, multitouch will be hyped up as a great part of windows 7, but ultimately cut before release and not part of the actual windows 7 when it ships.


(since ZiiTrend only allows 2 years into the future, there is a third option in case windows 7 has not yet shipped on the closing date, so we don't yet know if it has been cut or not)

Prediction Guideline

• Your score is calculated at the end of the closing day by: (outcome accuracy x time weight).
• Time weight represents how much time you hold your prediction. So the early you predict, the higher your score if you get it right.
• If you update your prediction, we will score all your update(s) based on their time weight.
