Never said Windows 7 was finger-friendly, and I don't think I'm qualified to comment on it, but imo, the win7 is simply geared to replace the mouse actions with a finger, and that's not helpful at all.<p>And from where I'm looking, portable physical media storage is fast becoming non-essential(obsolete?) with respect to devices that are used for consumption of music, the web, books, etc; ie- CONSUMER devices. eg- laptops, ebook readers, mp3 players, etc.<p>I'm a tech-savvy person, and I've had a broken dvd-drive on my laptop for about 7 months now. I've never found a reason to fix it; I'm as surprised by that as anybody else, I suppose. I play movie dvds on my console, and the eye-fi card on the camera is handy as hell.
