I want it. Looks like from those movies from the future, although I'm not sure will it be more succesful than tablet PC sure looks cool.

i want it too but for 50 EUR. i kind of expected they will put out something like this when i saw how Vista will look like.

either way very cool thingy. beats my mess on the desk at work

Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly everytime, or it will become very quickly a very dirty surface

It runs Vista, i think i'll pass.

Vista? Oooooh! Intriguing... That would probably mean what? This Surface is not yet compatible with your sofa, please contact your furniture retailer for an updated version. God I hate Vista.

Then you'll pass on pretty much anything in the future since most things will run on Vista like they do on XP today. And I very much doubt that Linux will take over the market.

Cool. But not for me.

Sure, it runs smooth now, with all the touching and everything responding quickly, but howabout in 6 months after 120 microsoft updates and the system starts bogging down?" Oh, sorry, my surface is running a bit slow." Gotta tag and drag 20 times, and then do it REAL slow so the surface can respond. "No, it can't handle 2 people touching it at once, just let me do it."

Standard Microsoft. It looks all TNG at first, but give it a while and the reality will catch up with the vision.

Hey maybe there will be linux surfaces shortly thereafter. The important part is the concept not the bloody OS.

True, but to be honest I don't think I will go out of my way to get one. I can't see just why I would need this thing. "Keep your table tidy" sure, but still... nah, not for me.
