Hi Josh, a lot of things impressed me about Microsoft Surface, although knowing what I do about how such promos can be faked, it’s the idea that floats my boat mostly.

However, you might want to might want to read some of the articles I’ve bookmarked on Microsoft Surface and how the apparent beauty might only be skin deep…

Instantaneous: no ‘Please wait while Surface installs drivers for this device’; not even any ‘Copying [. . . . . . . . .12%]‘. And this is where it really impresses: not only can it do these things, but it makes your existing cameras and pdas able to perform like this too.

WOW!

Hi Brian!

Microsoft Surface is an amazing idea.

And let’s be fair about this, it’s actually a platform, which is no surprise, given that this is Microsoft we’re talking about.

The possibilities are quite endless.

Speaking of prophetic prognostications, I’m a Sci-Fi writer (when time allows) and an idea I had some years ago was of walls in a room which were effectively live screens.

Imagine the scene: guy comes in after a long day at work, “I want to relax” he announces as he silently walks into his living room, clutching a tumbler of Whiskey.

His home entertainment system chooses the appropriate music and paints his walls with a night time city scape…

Surface is going to start turning up in some pretty interesting places in the next few years.
