Discussion of smudged screen (greasy fingers) being an issue, especially in models w/o keyboard. Not a significant issue if users are trained and machines have keyboards. More an issue for slates and iPod Touch.
Microsoft is offering touch technology only in Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate editors. Windows 7 Starter edition--the version of the software Microsoft is pushing on Netbook makers--won't have touch technology included.
