It's not software, but if you're looking for 2 Hook, 4 Leg I.V. Pole, I know where you can get one. Chrome plated. It extends from 47" to 85"high. It features 2 hooks and it has easy-roll 2" casters. It's a 4-leg base diameter is 23" with low profile base. Cuz, sometimes you don't just need software. Sometimes you need IV poles, too.
In more software-related news, the iPhone's MultiTouch--called something else--comes to Microsoft Windows PCs with Windows 7. Pretty cool to look at, you gotta admit. Wonder if it works that well in practice. I'm guessing no.
Having menus and windows all tilt strangely seems to me typically Microsoft. Because you can make it possible to create an unnavigable mess with a touch interface, then you should. So they will.

Microsoft Announced Project Natal At E3
Microsoft recently announced project Natal (Neonatal? Who comes up with their project names?), a "controller free" video game interface. Very, um, interesting. Though maybe a little premature.
I guess the idea is to out-Wii the Wii, so to speak. Best of luck with that. The video looks impressive, but computer companies--and Microsoft is no exception--have a track record of releasing great looking videos for cutting edge technology projects that never really pan out, for whatever reason. I'm just not expecting "Natal" to really change gaming any time soon, or even get purchased by a large majority of X-box users.
In truth, it probably is the future of gaming. Just not tomorrow's gaming, or the day after tomorrows. Maybe a decade. Maybe more. And expect a company like Nintendo to really get it right, while Microsoft spends all the money getting the market ready.
If and when it gets to market, I anticipate a lot of complains, and a lot of unhappy gamers. Just sayin'.
