However recently it has given one unit of HTC Shift to a Microsoft MVP (in Tablet PC area, from GottaBeMobile site) so that he should present it during Tech Ed Australia! The biggest revelation is that HTC Shift actually runs both Windows Vista and (!) Windows Mobile and it even has 2 processors and can run 2 modes!

At that time we didn't get any specific answer. But buy now Microsoft has unveiled commercially (!) the Microsoft Surface technology (a table with multi-touch display) and now it has been revealed, that Microsoft is working also on notebooks that would support genuine multi-touch:
