Touching The Surface

Okay all,

Welcome to the new face of computing.

Picture this...in the rather sub-par movie, The Minority Report, Cruise's character uses a touch screen computer interface in which screens and information is whisked around the vertical display with the touch of his fingers. Fun, to say the least, but seemingly improbable in the forseeable future.

Now Microsoft answers those geeky sci-fi dreams. Microsoft Surface will be introduced in the Winter 2007, and I think it is really cool.

In my line of work, that sort of touch responsive capability would be very useful in brainstorming sessions, and I can only begin to imagine the possibilities. Think paginate capability or video editing. All sorts of cool!

Anyway, check it out, and then consider buying Microsoft options for '08, because this will change the face of computing.
