ZDOne writes "ZDNet.co.uk has put a great piece together which attempts to interpret the random press release which Microsoft sent out this week around Windows 7. Getting press releases is not uncommon the site admits — what is uncommon is to get one unconnected with a product launch, an event or some major change in strategy.
One part of the mail which is particularly jarring is Microsoft's claims to be committed to touch technology. As ZDNet points out, Jerry Kaplan might disagree with this. As the founder of Go Corporation, he produced one of the first pen-based operating systems, and signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Microsoft in 1988. According to page 93 of The Microsoft File, by Wendy Goldman Rohm: "About two years later, Microsoft showed its own version of a pen operating system in the marketplace, having copied from Go everything it could.""
