arstechnica.com— We spend some quality time with Microsoft's new multitouch computer to get below the "Surface" and find out if there's more to this beast than sexy animations. We shot some impromptu video, too.

you're right, and if you hadn't added that flame statement at the end, you wouldnt have been dugg down. while the surface has a massive amount of potential and MS was very smart in their production, they really did just buy out a college research project. so, props to the team who made the technology, and props to MS for funding them.
Live is also going to Windows Mobile. Kind of puts a new perspective on all their new Live applications <a class="user" href="http://get.live.com/betas/home2">http://get.live.com/betas/home2</a>MS is going to have single sign on, across all platforms and integrate all the apps across them. Send an IM from Xbox 360 to a Windows Mobile smartphone all within a single environment.
This interface would work very well on a tablet computer or a touch-screen laptop that has a swivel screen I imagine that MS will ship this as a software layer at the same time its reference design (this table) is licensed/given to all their regular electronics partners (Samsung, Panasonic, Sony etc).

It's not an iPhone, it's a big ass table.

I can think of so much applications to this that my brain is going to reboot.
