My little place on the internet...
This is my blog with personal and technical articles. My Blog for me is primarily a playground to do somethings with the server I have running via my DSL connection. And in my humble opinion it looks better every time I tinker with it.
Microsoft Surface
While stumbling I came across the site from Microsoft about Microsoft Surface. I had immediately a feeling of ‘I got to have one’.
Microsoft Surface is a computer system with as primary interface a 30 inch table top with multifinger touch input. It also can interact with objects placed on the table top. If you would for example place a a camera on the table the photo’s literally drop out of the camera on to the table top. if you place a cell phone on the table you can throw these pictures to the phone and they will then be stored there.
In my opinion this is some really good news from and for Microsoft. because I myself haven’t seen anything exciting and new from Redmond in ages. 
The undoubted low point indicating this must be the release from Internet Explorer 7 and the new features like tabbed browsing that Firefox and Opera already integrated a long time before. So Microsoft was in need of some new and innovative technologie to help them forward.
But back to Microsoft Surface, this new technologie is going to be release at the end of this year and will be sold at first to companies to brighten up there place. As far as I could find there is no release info for home use yet.
Take a look at the site Microsoft dedicated to this at for some very nice movies about that this machine does
