Looks damn cool, but I think they're thinking small by limiting it to tables.

I saw that a year or so back when they first started showing pics of it, pretty cool.

Nono, I'm just saying I thought it wasn't microsoft that had it/ presented it, I had heard it was someone else (apple)

Either way, I'm glad to see how it apparently turned out, and that it's not covered in menus/ logos. They actually pulled off the intuitive aspect of it, and made it context sensitive. I know if I heard something like "the cactus club put Surface in their tables" I'd go check it out asap.

I've seen a photo manager/resizer interface like this before. it's pretty cool but not taht revolutionary imho. The touch pad lag time seems pretty bad still if you watch the video of it on the today show where they play tic-tac-toe

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

So when does your moniter come out?

I just realized that the amount of people that are going to get this is minimal.

Moniter referring to the book Enders game

These things remind me of the "tables" that the students had.
