I somehow don't think Microsoft believes that they created the concept of the touchscreen. What they are introducing is the interface they've built. It's not your typical finger-as-mouse interface that touchscreens generally have.

My point was that the example problem in that submission has been solved for a number of years. I'm also not sure multi-touch is necessarily an improvement over point-touch, in a greasy restaurant environment.
