I've read a couple of reviews that say its made more for touch screen devices and if you have Windows 7 it's safe to stay with W7. MS is banking on Home PCs going touch screen in the future. Personally I don't want peanut butter smears on my screen so I'm 'sticking' with a mouse. I read these reviews a few months ago though. Of course if you have a tablet it might be worth it.

I have two small boys. The thought of a touch screen and sticky fingers just makes me shudder. The state of their Nintento DS's, it is sometimes a wonder they can see the game

My boys must think they already have a touchscreen, I'm finding finger prints on it all the time.

My boys know that finger prints on the computer screen or on the TV will result in their fingers being removed at the armpits

A little off topic..but we were discussing Windows, and peanut butter.
According to this, you can make your leather recliner more supple and rustproof garden tools, but peanut butter doesn't do Windows.

MS is trying to make one OS that will cover smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop. A ridiculous notion, if you ask me.
My grandmother used to say 'If you try to do three things at once, you'll end up doing none of them very well.' A lesson MS still has yet to learn. Remember when it was XP for home and NT for business? That seemed to work fairly well...

If you try an clean my leather sofa with peanut butter, let me assure you, I will also remove your fingers at the armpit
As for label removal, WD40 works every time. Just a drop in the middle of the label, leave it to soak in for 5 minutes and then you will be able to peal it off in one piece. I would also use it on the lawn mower too before I reach for said peanut butter :-? :-?
