Microsoft Surface

Have you guys seen this yet?  Click on the 3 videos (magic, power, possibilities) and check it out.  I think its pretty cool, not really necessary and just another way to make money, yeah, but still, quite interesting...

Saw it yesterday on Youtube. I can see some of the applications for it but otherwise it's just a cool and really expensive novelty.

Pretty cool, looks like the comp interface from the film Minority report. It'd be good to show your pals photos or sellect playlists why your chilling in your den if it doubled up as a coffee table because its lame trying to get friends to gather round a desktop. Can't see it being used for work and such though, the interface would be too babyish and slow to navigate.

Hehe, a business edition would be cool as hell to attach to a workstation and actually build stuff on your pc with your fingers :)

How would you play WoW on that?  Oh yeah, it comes with a price tag around $11,000.

I don't trust Microsoft. Vista has bugs in it that probably won't get fixed until the fifth release, so im sure that Surface does. But that looks cool.

I love to see things like that. It helps me flush out those who have NO idea what they are talking about. I know for a fact you are using Windows RIGHT NOW. If you want to boycott Bill Gates and what he and Microsoft have pioneered then load up Linux... Oh wait, I forgot I was talking to an idiot. <- Pwn't
