[edgarin1994]

pirtty cool huuh, but wheres is the alt+control+delete?

[tich1978]

[moonraven86]

whats the price of this thing???

[gemisthegod2]

its still in the alpha stage

just for microsoft showing off in shows

and i guess it will cost a fortune once it is finally let for home use

[lewisisaspaz]

£5000-£10,000

[stew002]

This time its not an Iphone, its a big ass table

[capmo]

So you're a Bill Gates fan? Then you must watch this video Microsoft made in 2003 about the Evolution of Computing in a humorous way!

Do a search for: "PDC 03 Behind the Technology"

[DilbertRocks]

I agree with the guy below me. Pong would be the greatest function for the surface.

[kustomride]

Can we play Pong on "The Surface"??

[kaylavy]

I've been to Microsoft campus on our field trip and we visited what called the 'Small House'there are soooo many cool things in there that we're not suppost to discuss about bc before we went in we had to agree to MS terms and conditions agreement...anyway this was one of their invention...there are many more...save best thing for last right?...microsoft won't release their best inventions all at once...this is just the beginning of it!!!

[JoeOReilly]

Jeff Han will be pissed.

[CharlyMachine]

Microsoft "Surface" ridicules to Windows Vista JeJeJe

[kaiserarny]

This is just another idea stolen by M$: Look for on Youtube : Jeff Han's 8 ft. Multi-Touch Display Wall.

You'll see the original

[jnnw123]

Fuck you . 5 years in the making . i guessing your a apple fan . Well .. With microsoft your little friend you call "bill" as know as the Mac, Wouldnt be here without microsoft.

[kaiserarny]

I don't own a Mac, I'm just tired of all M$ bullshit that they come with anything new. We All know since the beginning of M$ all they ever do is copy or steal.

[jnnw123]

Where have they said this is new? Yes NEW to the COMPUTER user . Maybe has been around for other reasons. Have linux or mac tryed this ? Answer = No

[Joshfairhead]

Awnser=yes mate mac did it with the iphone

that said mac did a lot of stealing when they first started (the mouse the GUI etc.) microsoft started stealing stolen ideas! that said recently Mac has started inovating, M$ just steal or copy (Vsta= OsX but worse!)

[Joshfairhead]

and dont give me any horse shit that PCs are sooooo much better its a point of view. I accept you think that and im gonna let you without giving shit but before you give these views please try a mac for longer than 5 mins most of the diehard Pc fan friends converted when they tried my macbook pro after 40 mins

[Moyuko]

that is so fuking stupid

[NiteCatt]

um how???

[Joshfairhead]

isnt it just multi touch? Apple patented it so i suppose its slightly different but i'll guess its copied from them (like most of vista)!

[lostworld3030]

Actually the Iphone infringes one of Microsoft patient. also Microsoft had been working on this for last Five years.

[Joshfairhead]

fair enough man! but wasnt iphone developed for that long before? its been in the works for ages

their both cool and im sure the legalities have been "discussed in court" or will be! to be honest i dont give a crap who owns what i just wawnna see it all intergrate well without probs. and im gonna guess m$ arnt gonna support too many products where as apple know they cant survive if the dont make it open to other platforms.

[Joshfairhead]

p.s. sorry if this comment was reported as spam i hit spam not reply the first time by mistake and theres no damn undo button

[Gimerion]

Okay my grandmother will only need to clean this thing once and it'll be all messed up and won't ever work again.

[chuateden]

powerful ! :d

[jiggy410]

I WANTS IT

[larueprod]

Errr this technology was already introduced on the MAC Iphone already. And Vista is nothing but a broken less effective version of OSX even the visuals look like a Mac. haha

[jiggy410]

Macs are WEAK,, unless ur an artist, then u can take all the pics u want and do whatever the hell u want with them, thats prwetty much it

[larueprod]

If macs are so WEAK why is Gates trying to so hard to emulate the look Gates can't even TOUCH the functionality. We won't even get into the problems PCs have with viruses and hacking. Btw I am an I.T. professional that uses BOTH. PCs are cheaper and easier to find software because of market share. It's like comparing a mercedes to a Kia.

[jiggy410]

yea the kia being apple. i can see that

[larueprod]

Errrr... if MS was a mercedes it wouldn't get down the block before it broke down. :-) I use both as I consider them tools but if I was going on ease of use technological eloquence and less headaches I'd go with Apple. MS keeps Help Desks busy which from a software perspective should not be a selling point.

[Leadboy]

But has this technology been incorporated with object recognition? And dude apple isn't trying to push this tech into business applications, whereas M$ is....

[larueprod]

No. You the ILLUSION of object recognition. This stuff is still vaporware. I was checking some sites and this thing is going to go for like 10k a pop. They are approaching businesses with it. But knowing microsoft it will be delivered LATE, BROKEN, in 3 different flavors with 6 different patches! lol! However it DOES look cool. IF he can get it to work before Jobs releases his version I'd be surprised (MS just announced it first but Apple has something in the works)

[zadjaliz]

Microsoft "Surface" - The Power FTW !!!

[gzmask]

10000USD? ask linux how this thing actually worth when their version come out. come on, the hardware is just a big LCD touch screen with a camera and a PC, and the software... don't worth the money when linux is around.

[unwittingcattledocom]

pretty kewl until the eula snatches up your first born.

[luc294]

nothing like a gigantic blue error screen when you are in the middle of a date...

[Joshfairhead]

sorry man i'd say always the blue screen of death. not just in the middle of something!

[luc294]

haha thanks, i´ll keep that in mind...

nothing like a gigantic blue screen of death when you are in the middle of a date...

[khakiboyben]

(rockypants4000)

ok well just think hoe many times you touch the same thing that other people do..like :

-a.t.m's-pin pads-keyboards-mouses-doorknob­s-doors-hangers-car doors.etc.

i mean look how many times you touch thing that get people greasy fingers all on yours..

and im sure they made some type of silicon pad that you can buy separate to place on top..

[khakiboyben]

true but mac still hasnt come up with anything like this..

and mac is really only good at adverising

which means that the technology isnt as great.

take i-pods for example

[songix]

ww w .surfacefreaks dot com

[stopwhining1]

im scared of this thing

[rockyPants4000]

As long as 100% of the people using it wear gloves, we're all set. Until then, I'm not really into smearing some drunken sales rep's fecal matter from his unwashed hands all around the screen so I can paint a picture.

PASS.

[sheelsp]

quase um Minoroty Report

[Kirihara11]

^ Lol its a technology you moron, multi touch isnt something new. apple used it on their phone, type multi touch in youtube and see idiot.

[OnimusAnn]

Finally.....Mac fags cut shut up
