DateMonday, March 30, 2009 at 8:54AM

This has been forwarded a bunch already, but if you haven't yet read it, it's worth checking out for some details on the touchscreen gestures that MS is building into Windows 7 and the ways that they're testing them, as well as details on how they're testing and certifying touchscreen hardware.
