Several years ago I did a massive project for the govt and I desgined and installed web cafes in a majority of the govt building up and down the uk.

when they first went into they great and everyone played with them then the screens started to go out of sync due the abuse they were recieving so we had to train the on site techs to calibrate them once a week or so.

they also looked like dirty most of the time due to be a high lacquered gloss black finish.

I have played around with windows 7 on a touch screen and I am not convinced that they will replace the old qwerty just yet. but I would consider one for the kitchen where I can display the TV or recipes etc without having to have all the peripherals slung everywhere.


if you have OCD though I would stay away as you will be forever cleaning the finger prints off the screen.
