On BBC Breakfast, Rory Cellan-Jones was demonstrating multi-touch on
Windows 7. He said he normally uses a different system, then went on
to say that Apple were trying to spoil the launch by announcing new
products recently, and that free software was going to celebrate the
launch of a new Ubuntu version next week (he pronounced it right too)!

Cofion,
Neil.
