I could put so much into this thread because what I am seeing is so amazingly cool but I will post just a brief article and video and hope you all will search "Microsoft Surface" on the web and Youtube.

But Microsoft appears to be taking this human touch interface concept to a higher level –- and getting a lot less attention –- with its tabletop computing play space, Surface.
Surface doesn’t use a keyboard or mouse, but instead the 30-inch display “turns an ordinary tabletop into a vibrant, dynamic surface that provides effortless interaction with all forms of digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects,” according to the company.
By year’s end, Surface is expected to begin appearing in Microsoft partner hotels, restaurants and casinos, bundled with basic applications for photo, music, virtual concierge and games, all of which can be customized.
Whether Surface ever makes its way into the living room, who knows. But Surface runs Windows Vista and includes wired Ethernet, 802.11g and Bluetooth interfaces, so it’ll connect to your network.

It looks revolutionary-just like the touch screen stuff we saw in movies. Guess those minds were right on track.
