I have seen this product more than once already in their experimental stages. Some guy on YouTube playing Warcraft using this surface type of touch sensitive screen. He was showing how the mouse gestures of click, right click, drag, double click were done. Multiple selections and other things all done by playing Warcaft. I have no idea if this was a Microsoft video, it looked more like an amateur academic university project on some new type of input device. And just a few minutes ago, my friend Dru sends me the IM of Microsoft Surface. Interesting input device. It pushes the touchscreen to the next level.

Microsoft Surface seems to be a hardware technology and software technology as well. I wonder if they will open this to PC manufacturers as well. And will PC manufacturers come up with their own surface computers and will just need to install Microsoft Surface. I wonder if the blue screen of death (BSOD) will disappear too. That will be one big BSOD in your face if ever it still exist in Microsoft Surface. *LOL*

That is sooo cool! I saw something similar almost a year ago, but they’ve really advanced it since then. I love the drawing/painting function.
I want one… when they’re not a trillion dollars
So I’ve got many a year left
