Windows7 and much more. How Will You utilize 3D CAD in 2010?
by Josh on October 29, 2008 · View Comments
The news about Windows7,
Office 2010 Pro Plus, Microsoft next OS, has been pouring out of the seething cauldron of Microsoft PDC this week, getting all the fanboys and multi-touch crazies in a ruckus.
Are you all just extremely AMPPED? No? Well, for those gnashing their teeth over Vista, the new OS promises to be the escape Microsoft wants to provide it’s ever so constrained loyal user base, and they plan to provide it even before 2010 gets here.
However, this raises some interesting questions for 3D CAD users. Multi-touch navigation across the screen? How will display technology develop? What engineering design companies are aware of these technology changes? Enjoy a very choppy preview video, my thoughts and your opinions after the break.

How will this affect 3D CAD?
Not much… at first. It will be neat to navigate, pan,
Buy Office 2010, zoom, etc. through everything. It’s actualyl hard not to get carried away with the possibilities here. What I do hope is that 3D CAD vendors, especially SolidWorks, is looking at, not only the onscreen interactive manipulation of 3D geometry,

Multi-touch becomes much less linear and opens up a lot more possibilities for how commands are initiated and completed. Oh, and this doesn’t all have to be done with hands either. (It’s beyond me, why there has been very little research into multi-point input technology.)
Anyway, enough of my opinion,
Office 2007 Activation Key, what do you think about all this? What’s your wildest dreams for SolidWorks utilizing functionality in
Windows 7?

Update:
All sorts of display technology this week…
Samsung displayed its new 4″ superthin,
Windows 7 Ultimate Product Key, highly flexible .05mm OLED screen.
Metaio is mixing the physical with the virtual with their 3D augmented reality program.
Shinoda will start 125″ curved plasma screen production May 2009
Windows 7 on a flexible display? a curved display? hmmm.
