    The launch of Microsoft Surface marks the beginning of a new technology category and a user-interface revolution. Surface, Microsoft’s first surface computer, provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface computing breaks down traditional barriers between people and technology, changing the way people interact with all kinds of everyday information — from photos to maps to menus.

    no love for the surface? I saw it twice in GC, maybe that's why!

    it looks sweet but I think it would be tough to get used to having used a mouse for over a decade!!

    edit: oh! and stupid me, there's another thread down this same page about 1/2 way :mad:

    None of the restaurants I visit will invest that much either. It looks more like a luxury accessory that I don't need. I feel quite confortable with my keyboard and mouse and my LCD screen. They should rather concentrate their efforts in different areas of evolution, I think. I don't need their surface stuff.

    I spent a lot of years in the Hospitality Industry, and I am sure a few Vegas properties will jump on it.
    As for me, let them work it our for a few years..I still think MS Office needs some serious work, as does, WMP, Hotmail, Vista, Outlook, and a few other things.
    Fix what you have, if you want me to trust the new stuff.

    It looks so cool. Too bad it's going to be super expensive.
