On Wednesday ViewSonic introduced its latest touch-enabled LED-lit display, the 22-inch TD2220.

It's already compatible with Windows 7's own touch-based features right out of the box thanks to built-in Touch drivers. ViewSonic said the TD2220 will be available in North and Latin America the third week of October for an ESP of $329 – just in time for Windows 8.
I got it months ago in anticipation for Windows 8 testing.
Played with it for a day then went back to keyboard and mouse lol.
Maybe I'm just old, but I seem to remember ViewSonic once being a company with a good reputation...nowadays they don't seem to be held in particularly high regard.
as for finger print whiners. ever gone to the gym, what about the sweat from other people on the equipment? how about eating from dishes and silverware and cups that were used by some one else previously what about glass doors? what about your iCrap mobile phone? what about the handlebars on your bicycle? how about the snot on your screen right now from the last time you talked, laughed or sneezed?
seriously, i bet you are one of these people who whine about having to wait in line in the heat for free money and food like the welfare recipients down south or in the major cities in america.
