  • microsoft ALWAYS beats apple!!!

  • Okay, it's been three to four years... Where the h*ll are they?!?!

  • @0TheDreamState0 they arent selling it to the public... YET.

  • I see security flaws just waiting to happen with that machine. People that understand security will understand.

  • But will it blend?

  • haha this stuff came out last year :)

  • something just like this seen recently in the office of the new Hawaii Five 0

  • how did this not take off?

  • now you can place a tank or gun while playing a game

  • but..... will it blend? o.O O.o

  • @kirlyn191 tried it but it wouldn't fit into the cement mixer!

  • hèh_ÄñYoÑè_wÅnNå_chät_wíth_më_­î_féÉl_sö_lòñÈlÿ_toÐáY→

  • f-this shit, im going back to room size computers pre-1950's bitch.

  • love how she said.. "means a company like T-moBILE"

  • aaaand it lags. Thats MS for ya..

  • Microsoft has invented the $10K coffee table. Oh Oh, and you can buy music!

  • What? That's Ancient Tech already.

  • What a waste of money time and resources, who needs this piece of shit.

  • why isnt that out already?

    this is so much cooler than other tablets like the ipad

  • Why would we need this?

  • @spiritmong Business, dude.

  • No it's not original it's been on sci fi film for years he a thief what ever he do look at the wii and now the xbox360 theif

  • I think its the first original thing from gates ever!! LMAO

    GUESS WHAT HE IS RETIRED NOW

  • So it's a giant iPad that you can't take with you that costs over ten times as much and BSOD's if you look at it the wrong way?

  • Scratch to win! *scratches screen*

    FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUU

  • it a big ipad

  • Wait this is more then 3 yrs old

    i bet Apple stole the idea...

  • OMG This is soo maddd

    I'd say that it is more Up-To-Date

    And FAR better then the iPad

  • over priced Microsoft ipad , nothing special here folks lol they are 5 years late for this one lol stupid microsoft

  • @headlightguy 5 years late? Look at the date genius.

  • What's T Mo-Bielll?

  • @llersichProductions lets see, i dont use my sense of touch to see, and my sense of sight

  • 2:22 Why write upside-down?

  • This is three years ago. What happened to this? Vaporware?

  • @piratesmvp I actually saw one at an ATT store... they're nothing that impressive... tried placing my phone down on it... surprise surprise... nothing happened.

  • @unadulterateddagger Maybe the phone has to be configured first for security reasons. I do know you also need a some kind of security card to log in first.

  • hmm i wonder what the technical specifcations for that are

  • can't say anything bad about this company, when I needed help with my email address and password, which someone from another state had changed and stolen all my work, Microsoft actually came to the rescue, they gave me back everything and fast. I wish they did everyday investigations, I could use their help in other matters of criminal nature. great job microsoft.

  • Water Proof Touchscreen? WTF!

  • wow! don't let your card on your Desk bra!

  • wow this literally is a Desk Top!!!! lmao I crack myself up XD

  • so awesome ;_; i will one day work on such a global scale

  • I will stick to my "OLD" computer. Imagine all of the bullshit that could happen with something like this!!!

  • This device is hated by lots and lots of people in the comments section, but if Apple releases a similar but far more pointless device (iPad), everyone worships it. WTF.....

  • @IlersichProductions Let me explain. It is "you" not "getting" it.

  • @retepvosnul For someone trying to explain something, you seem to have forgotten any explanation or even stating what it is you're trying to explain. What do you think I'm not getting?

  • @IlersichProductions The lot.

  • @IlersichProductions of......? I'm pretty sure I get what these devices are and what they do.

  • @IlersichProductions It's the Reality Distortion Field generated by Steve Jobs. Google it.

  • @IlersichProductions on the one side we have bad marketing (microsoft) and on the other proper marketing (apple). thats whats up. apple can sell shit and people will buy.

  • @IlersichProductions i completely agree with you

  • @IlersichProductions One word...DumbMasses !!

  • @IlersichProductions They both are good computers. Both op systems are pretty good, could be better. Truth is, they have had 44 years to perfect the GUI and we have returned to being dependent on human computers, programmers that sit around auto error reports and rewrite already bloated code. Patching code causes "program bloat". Apple software is written by less people but works.Windows is bloated, with 8 gig RAM it works well. Printer/device drivers kill linux. The US Gov.has the good stuff

  • @IlersichProductions

    lol wtf! the same comment!? o.o

    but all the peoples thumbs up your fucking both comment ;o

    awesome things that I ever seen! o_o

  • This device is hated by lots and lots of people in the comments section, but if Apple released a similar, but far more pointless device (iPad), everyone worships it. WTF.....

  • @IlersichProductions - Apple has people by the balls. I stop and the ipod myself

  • @IlersichProductions yea thats apple fans for you

  • most viruses are easy to understand once you know progaming..... it's normaly the copy past or the malwher haha instant seting to unchangeabl ....

  • inside a microsoft computer live a lot of virus

  • I WANT ONE

  • AKA IPAD

  • @TheDrjman1 This was in development for years, and this video was posted 3 years ago. Looooonnnng before the iPad.

  • cool,but what about FPS games like half life!? what are we supose to do scroll our finger around the screen to turn and tap it to shoot? fuck that.

  • hahahahaha! falls off chair! microsoft fail! you can do all this for under 800 $ 5000 my ass! the only upside to their design is the recognition of surfaces.

  • @MegaFracture Bro You act like this is For Home use. are you Stupid, its Designed By Microsoft. I mean A this was Released in 07, So if you knew your trends there was at least 6 Cycles of Tech past this, so of course this would be cheaper today, and 2 your not paying for only the Hardware, its the Software they put years into developing. So Unless can Get 800$ and do this yourself, Don't go insulting someone like Microsoft

  • Ever seen the tv-series CSI....?

  • WoW,.. you will need to use two hands and a lot of gyrations just to send a friggen email then break out your bottle of windex to clean all the greasy trails off your screen. Hey guys look, my mouse can do all of that with only a few clicks moving only one finger and my screen stays clean, WoW,...what a concept :/ 

  • Its just an Apple coffee table!! What a load of neck breaking crap.

  • @thano111 Except that it came out three years before the iPad... Durp

  • but how i play World of warcraft without keyboard and more games ?? :(

  • The clue to MSoft's achilles heal comes at the end " took a little getting used to" - one of Apple's secrets is that they ALWAYS synthesize the user experience down to something very simple and instantly intuitive - MSoft do not understand this (and never have) because they are led by techies NOT designers which is why they just add lots of crap you do not want or need. I sincerely doubt that Steve Jobs will 'blow his mind' on this - he may fall off his chair laughing like I did though. Ho Hum.

  • um they shouldve brought this out before ipad oh well its pretty cool tho

  • @iluvunderoath23 This video was made before the iphone 3g was for sale..

  • @iluvunderoath23 It came out three years before the iPad.

  • What the fuck is this fagety shit?

  • it s a long brake

  • i love it

    

  • THis will blow Steve Job's mind with this technology!

  • Oh! Oh! Oh! That is fantastic, that is great!!!!!!!!

  • its an ipad bilt into a table, just what every one needs

  • @RECONR117 no its not

  • ahaha

  • OMG cool put your head on and upload memories XD

    put food on table and it download informations about food XD

  • @GamerMaster2041 lol good one.

  • A 2d screen that ms hopes will replace your coffee table. Have to find somewhere else to place your beverages. Wonder if it can massage your feet?

  • saw this at sigraph several years ago ...

    MS didn't invent it. they bought the concept from someone else and worked the bugs out of it.

  • look awfully like the ipad

  • So wait, Steve Jobs is unoriginal and has AIDS? Well if that isn't exactly what I thought twenty minutes ago...

  • @ColmenTse As soon as the iPad is released Apple fanboys comment on every video related to touchscreen technology to say "that looks like an iPad".

    I love my iPhone but comments like that piss me off, this has been around for a while now, they made a prototype out of an IKEA table to show Bill Gates and he gave the go ahead.

    This uses cameras instead of capacitive touchscreens, that's how it recognises which phone to download photos from.

  • I'll wait until I can run Linux on it...

  • That is a computer which large companies will use and not for home use. There is a computer now with a touch screen, but not as powerful as this one.

  • it has a bunch of cameras in it, another way for big brother to encroach on your ever dwindling privacy

  • you can go to uporn and put your dick on the screen you will get a actual blowjob.. tested it it out at CES.

  • hahahhhaah fucking EPIC comentary xD

  • lmfao i actually was thinking that during the vid XDDD

  • @Punniabi lol

  • @Punniabi

    A joke? x)

  • @Punniabi BEST COMMENT EVAR!!!!! You sir win teh internetz! 

  • @Punniabi

    Ohh,if there was an ass on the screen you had brake the screen, dont' you?^^

  • @Punniabi what is CES

  • This Chines stuff is too complicated for whites.

  • Cool stuff, but I'll stick to my traditional desktop.

  • @Deathstar1020 Brave New World sick stuffs are beggining to give nauseas .

  • I think Microsoft and bill gates has lots its direction which is a bad thing. I get the perception they dont know what there supposed to be doing with it.

  • Anyone coming out with the usual crappy ms comments don't know what they're talking about.

    And it's not touchscreen, read up about it,

  • This is the best thing to come out of Microsoft. This is the invention of the century. I've been demoing one this week and the hardcore apple people are impressed. It's not even touch screen, it watches and can recognise shapes.

    Well done Microsoft, seriously.

    Message to Bill Gates - your not getting this demo unit back lol, you'll have to pry if out of my dying hands ;)

  • Of course this was probably a concept of multi touch screens

  • WHAT IS YOUTUB E

  • she's so hot....

  • We use Linux on our school computers. It is more reliable than any operating system out there, god knows how many times someone has just come over to your computer and turned it off as a joke half way through doing something and when you turn it back on it's fine! don't think windows could handle that all the time, but tbh other than that linux is pretty shit!

  • The computer didn't go to the websites filled with viruses

    It is the people who go to the websites that are filled with viruses. Blame the people, not the computer

  • Bah, Humbug.

    I have been a UNIX sysadmin for 20 years.

    I am meaner than stink.

    Why, in the old days, we had to compute uphill, in the snow, in both directions, and WE LIKED IT!

    Why, try to program an 8 bit micro with 8 bit switches, and an advance button for once in yer friggin lives.

    Pansy ass winders fellers don't even have a command line.

    By cranky, no wonder you get those blue screeny thingies.

    OUR program errors came with a red HALT light.

    We WISHED for blue screens.

    .

  • SHE SAID SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHH

    How hard is it to shhhhhhhhhh

  • Good for strategy games

  • the's a serious flaw in this "touch" technology for the public. We're all cootie mongers. I can barely walk into a public restroom without cringing...who doesn't get sick after being in Vegas for longer than 24 hours? Wonder why? Cooties!

  • And a lot of people are Hypochondriacs.. So what? just because Hypochondriacs make a normal person's life miserable in a lot of instance, they can learn to adapt just like anyone else... Net everybody in the world is this way my friend... It's the willingness to adapt that comes in to play here...Not knocking you though...Everyone has their quirks. Some just more than others. Technology moves forward...we should move right along with it. Gotta keep up with the times.

  • BOLDERCRAP Made my HP-Hewlet Packard in 2008 and devolped for Bars Nightclubs and Clubs guy i saw this shit in a nightclub JESUS rollerscating christ :/

  • Whatever, this product is from Microsoft, the system will have crushes like Windows :)

    Now you will have to call the carpeters to fix your desktop computer :D

  • the screen has camera pixels between the regular pixels on the screen. like a bugs eye, software puts all the pictures togehter. your living room tv watches you, just like big brother 1984. i heard about the patent for this years ago. and now has come to pass.

  • I think its pretty ingenious myself :)

  • I installed linux before... it's stupid...

    Seriously... who the fuck uses LINUX? LOLAMIRITE?

  • i agree. linux is just plain stupid. it might be a lil cool at first, but it gets so old. i mean all u can rly do is surf the net. thats it.. no games, no nuthin

  • I just installed Linux on my computer. Ubuntu to be exact. It was working great for a few days, then I tried to boot it and I got hundreds of errors and it wiped Linux off of my computer. I had an important speech that I lost because of it. I will NEVER trust Linux with any of my files again. It's a piece of shit.

  • yah, linux is just for people who just web browse, and nothing ese

  • Yeah not really a great operating system to run recording or video editing applications..It is not a very stable platform at all..Agreeing with The Windows Gamer below.

  • linux is used more by developers/programmers and hackers since the operating system is open sourced it allow the user to change and modify it. It all depends on what your going to use the operating system for. Linix/Unix is also the Backbone operating system for the internet since most Government OC servers use it in conjuction with switches/routers and patch pannels

  • Regardless, it's a piece of shit

  • maybe for what your using it for. although ubuntu is not the best version of linux. unbuntu is a super tiny os made for use with a live cd(running he os from a CD). but still linux/unix is the most robust operating system on the market. you wont find it getting any viruses...

  • I doubt this will catch on. Due to many reasons such as price, responsiveness, cost effectiveness, and so on.

  • Too expensive, how do they intend to sell this to normal consumer? And yes, uzuragakure is right, compiz could do this for years. Overall, it's going to be a boom to people who never tried Linux and saw what it can do.

  • REALLY?! Compiz can take images from cameras and info from cards by setting them on a table screen? Your an idiot sir, Ive been using UNIX/Linux for years and am very familiar with Compiz (i have it on my ubuntu box right now) and it doesn't do that. The real innovation here isn't the graphic effects, that's child's play.

  • Wireless is innovation to you? Nothing about putting a wireless device on a screen and transfering images is innovative. It's just using well known technologies together. P.S. By your comments here and below I can see who's an idiot here. Go suck up to Bill.

  • Really b/c im not the one confusing one product with a totally different service. P.S. read up on the operating system and know something factual about it before you talk shit, I use every OS on the market and I'll be the first to admit from a security stand point that windows is more secure by design. The fact that it gets attacked by fucking everyone and therefore is under more risk has nothing to do with its DESIGN.

  • If Windows is more secure than Linux or more stable, this same site would switch to it. But they don't. Cause after all those Microsoft lies THEY know that Windows can't compete with Linux with stability and security. The only place where Windows can compete is desktop because most desktop users only play games on it.If all you require from pc is gaming then sure, use Windows, but if you need stability and security that's where Linux rules! And that's opinion of every Internet server owner!!!

  • Your totally missing the point. Of course linux is more stable and because it doesn't hold that much of the market encounters less malware and security threats but that's totally besides the point I was making. And of course i know almost everyone uses unix/linux OSs for their servers again TOTALLY besides the point i was making, at this point I'm seriously doubting your ability to read.

  • You think that attacking Linux based OS is not desirable by attackers? Windows UAC is a joke and I own a Windows OS too. I've settled with the fact that even with my antivirus updated to latest definitions means I'm gonna have infected OS. As for the point you were making "...security stand point that windows is more secure by design".By design?I could easily give you couple of articles claiming completely different.Windows will be popular for desktops because of directX and commercial nature.

  • Show me then, and they can't be ancient either. 2008 or newer.

  • Compiz has been doing this for years with old hardware. pff.

  • People who are "hacked" deserve exactly what they get. If you choose to bathe yourself in constant ignorance because of a new desktop and some icons, then don't complain.

  • UNREAL.

  • Comment removed

  • actually you're dumb first its you're not your second by unreal i meant sick figure it out.

  • no comment

  • wow i Want!!! XD ^^

  • go microsoft, mac suck

  • Get Linux. It's free, stable, reliable, powerful and most of all secure.

  • Right on. ;)

  • Wow get a clue man writing viruses for unix/linux/osx is easier than windows. The only reason its "secure" is because it doesn't hold as much of the market as Microsoft.

  • Show me.

  • if u get a hunchback 4 being lots of time on ur desktop computer i'll b worst with this "table"computer ... all day long bending to see vidz and stuff

  • its just a monster size iphone

  • i am going to get one

  • Seen it.

  • I noticed that man had a Zune lmfao

  • Apple is way too expensive for what it is.

    PLUS the fanbase are mostly retards who take the crap of that Appledude. That guy is filled with more bullshit than a farm.

    Windows == way cheaper == more games == almost as good as Apple.

    For the graphic designers out there: If you're good, you can make the exact same on a windows as on a Mac.

    The rest are too ignorant to admit it.

    Windows = Mac = Windows

    PERIOD.

  • Sure Windows has more games, but windows has more viruses, problems, issues, too much 3rd party support to slow down your system. At least with mac, you won't get any problems because alot of the peripherals are made by mac for mac.

  • lol, I think you should know better about windows and mac ,if you check the mac computer, its allow the user to install windows on it, and this is very clear which one is better

  • I agree....with Apple "You can buy better....but you can't pay more"...that's my tag line.

    Mike

  • you can do that with a zune no a ipod, because ipod's dont wireless sync, but zunes do

  • NO WAY thts AWESOME to expensive tho

  • Its a very awesome computer but i will never buy it.

  • can't game on that D:

  • It is not meant for gaming but an awesome idea!

  • cool

  • lol you can see the wax on his head. probly got some hair gel aswell on there too.
