I still have a touch screen Asus Netbook convertible that ran Windows XP with touch extensions. It took Jobs to take the concept, make it workable, and market it; but the fact remains it’s still evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
What's amazing is that he could sell old ideas and make people think he invented them.

What was remarkable was taking concepts that others couldn't get consumers interested in, refining them and showing the buyer something they could get interested in... hey, John Logie Baird invented TV but it took the evolution from mechanical to electronic scanning to make it marketable... and none of the things were exactly old ideas just not hot ideas until refreshed by Apple
Of course reality doesn't matter and Jobs was the devil and Apple's now gonna burn in hell... and I'm glad your Asus with touch suits you, I had one and got rid of it after three weeks as it drove me insane and I still hate touch on a laptop/desktop but love it on tablets/smartphones...
And before anyone starts on the pro/anti Apple rubbish, read my devices...
