Microsoft Surface: Hands-on First Look

[ksaRioksa]

amazing technology, is that table work with any wireless device

[icedfire1234]

The end of 2007? Its 2012 bitch

[maximalions]

Dear santa....

[TheLife1989]

hahaha one bigass ipod

[TheLife1989]

lol they were planning on using this for xbox, glad they didnt cripple its future.

[xXParaMuffinXx]

Does it have the same kernel as Windows?

[homefront678]

watch porn on that

[Ameya890]

OMG WATCH FRM 1:36 !! MICROSOFT USING 'GOOGLE EARTH"

[TheStigmaProductions]

Move photos like they were real photos! Here's an idea.. Stick to real photos! :D

[pawlopascual]

microsoft tablets are big ass huge

[Zigobolt]

this is the coolest table that i have ever saw. It is great.

[MartinPerssonDotName]

I wanna play Quake on that thing.

[Paperclown]

wii u sucks.

[ShrapmaElite]

It really upsets me how their expected release times are always NEVER. Most of every awesome piece of technology I've seen, has NOT been in stores or even online. They basically set an expectation time and forget about it.

[29041982]

ENTER THE MATRIX was STARTED JUST NOW!!

[Murrk666]

@Brainmixup and @Vampireking500 It said as early as 2007, not meaning it will definitly be out by then. Learn to listen... bitch. :)

[Vampireking500]

the end of 2007? its 2011 bitch

[dracomasta13]

@Vampireking500 lol copycat

[Vampireking500]

@dracomasta13 LOL i know i was trying to be funny with the people who saw urs

[platkin]

@Vampireking500 the end of 2007? its 2012 (beep)

[3BDRR7MAN]

Needs more features not just drag picture zoom etc

[Pulpish]

What if you spill your drink?! :S

[Imnothecrazyone]

If you make these into tables then people will be eating off these computers. What happens if someone spills their drink on it?

[mordent17]

Surface computing? Secrecy is better than betting in things that don't follow the actual path of the evolution of computer. That's why I prefer the way Apple manages their projects secrecy. This sounds to me like a pure publicity stunt.

[mordent17]

@mordent17 So you avoid getting publicly booed when something you projected was wrong in a market so fanatically aggressive. But the concept is actually good. The environment that can be really favored at this time by the table s the hospitality industry and the education and scientific areas. Bad thing is that this concept wil be real in 20? 30 years? Common people asks for actual made-for-their-time tools!

[brakisefalp]

vay amına koyim. teknoloji almış başını gitmiş biz hala su faturası ödüyoruz iyi mi

[carlo19550224]

とってもかっこいい。mac版が出てほしいというのがあるけどね­。

[WingChunProductions]

@carlo19550224 うまくいけば、すぐに、2011年はいいだろう出てくる。

[vincentthegreat82]

They forgot to mention one thing. You can pick up the screen and put it on the wall or a stand. The is a amazing.

[blueonionsoup]

I can feel the neck cramps now

[killawind1287]

$5-10k!? dam!

[MusicTewns]

At least Apple allow people to buy their product. Microsoft's a selfish bitch.

[ganja420pimpxp]

@MusicTewns its the first of its kind.. the prices will dilapidate in time.. and as far as apple goes.. their machines cost a lot more than other conventional devices so better think twice who is the selfish bitch.

[scorpien32]

omg ..when does it finally come out ?

[donutsprinkles99]

why would i need to organize my photos if this thing is just going to scramble them when i first see them?

[Migzter05]

whoever did this must be a fan of 'minority report' LOL

[IvanJSoto]

@Migzter05 yeah!!! I think that this kind of interface though would be pretty cool...

[donzaliko]

2011

[aapkavishu]

ITS TOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[ceyhan49]

Top secret project? then i bet this video is a highly classified project video LOL....

supposedly its for corporate and military use... in Smallville tv series you can see where chloe used it...

[bvnbmklopvcxzas]

marriage and get a trusted women Online *lushfmlk.info*

[kahuna3901]

its such a good idea. imagine sharing content in your living room in such a way. coming home from school and you took a picture of something like a shop you liked. a snowy field or maybe even a weblink or video on your phone. just pop your phone on the table and your automatically sharing your content. then there is the web browsing, my parents dislike having to use a computer to some extent. why do they need a system that lets them do so many things but really they want to check emails/browse

[Anaconda98]

You have to understand, that if you release a technology so advanced, that people won't be able to understand how to work it. We have the touch screens and tablets now... so we can " teach " the public how to work something like this in the future... I anticipate this will come out when the Tablet fad has died down. . . Just me though..

[RyansWays]

weve got one at our SCHOOL!!!!!

[freshdude56]

@RyansWays u bullshitin post a video

[gerikj]

bulshit

[cyrax1311]

Looks like they sold the idea to Apple and made the iPhone as a mini, more practicable version at the last minute.

[vetzal]

@cyrax1311 the iphone is ubelievably different from this, the only similarity would be the touch screen and wireless, which my laptop has, maybe they sold the idea to hp also?

[trackercj]

i wanna be gaming on that!

[ninjaaron]

I ejaculated.

[noppolyailumyong]

Get me one!!!!!!!

[Lavy61]

Hello people whats going to happen to these microsoft tables and ipads and iphones after PRANAV MISTRY? He has already invented better stuff than this. Check it out on YT ( pranavmistryTED pt1) Thats my India for you.Microsoft has invented something whitch cannot be affordable by common people like u and me. The surface tables cost 20000 USD....So for people like us God sends Pranav Mistry. Because even God is tired of the have nots looking at the haves....God Bless !

[Kcon83]

@2.38,

how the f''k??

[aj199508]

why buy a laptop you can take anywhere when you can buy something the size of a small car that costs shitloads of money and can never be taken anywhere

[pinoyguitarplayer101]

@aj199508

[fragilebrains]

1:15 modern warfare tsk tsk tsk..

[rodryi2808]

DEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[bornoftherods]

if only i was fabulously wealthy.....

[FlamingChicken321]

End of 2007 eh?

[brianmixup]

the end of 2007? its 2010 bitch

[jacf1020]

@brianmixup go to any Microsoft store, You'll see them there

[880330145789]

@brianmixup hahaha and now its 2011

[Sk8rbs]

@brianmixup 2011 sucka

[magicedaa]

they say that it has wireless infrared sensors, (cameras) ect... why not just put them in the table?

[xavier3961]

Not bad for $ 12,500.

[Milburnization]

Lovely Asian lady  *lushfmlk.info*

[SibuTNTcorps]

At Last， Microsoft's making a hardware tats cool

[Bannman1000]

WTF!

[StumanRH]

I admit this is cool. But you have to look at what Apple's done. They invented the USB, Graphics based UI and the mouse! I guarantee if Apple decided to jump into the multi-touch table tech, it would be superior. I'm pretty sure they patented multi-touch anyways. It's Apple's tech.

[akkshep]

@StumanRH

apple made firewire, not usb

[navylaks2]

why not just make a SIXTHSENSE and download the programs for free then you can use any surface including your own body.

[aerocite]

Apple patented multi touch. sue them!

[TheCyberHead]

how will be the first ass to spill water on it thinking that his friend just got a new hot table? hmm....

[Thesethlans]

This is all good and all but what about word processing products . What about copy/cut and paste ? I have a difficult time doing it on Itouch(im sure iphone and ipad too) since there is no right click or real keyboard ctr-X to do this. very difficult with touch screens.

thanks

[Dune1884]

the ipad is a mini surface lol

[vidix89]

i hope that's my christmas present,,,,,! =)

[isocvlad]

amazing but it expensive. from 5.000 to 10.000 dolars :)) so no chance to buy it !YET!

[the4thmatter]

if it senses whats on it...would it get mad if a ps3 was placed on it

[ernestonap1]

this is sweet

[anubisthagod]

Fuck Mac imma PC lmao

[pankakesforlife]

thank the spageti monster we live in this age

[IKilledCookiemonster]

Toooo big..

[30fako]

mmmmm e future is crap. im gonna go get myself laid..

[EderAchuryColombiano]

The Microsoft Surface, is made before the IPAD, this is the 2010 version, look at history from priate first appeared, Microsoft always was ahead of the great and the future.

[TheGentiaan7]

microsoft is the best more better than fucking apple

[fredlechameau]

Take that ipad !

[jokkenizer]

Fuck Microsoft

[XxiheartitxX]

Please people pay attention:

This is only t for fucking business owners, cafe's etc... FOR NOW

[Gyasi1000]

OMG!!!! Brilliant!

[Ygdrasium]

hurry up and get here

[ps3effinrocks]

@maru2264 xD lol true

[chrisiare]

It seems a bit outrageous and expensive now, but in the future this shit gon be everywhere!

[Talentz92]

great more bullshit for people to buy that they dont need

[frootloops29]

when is this coming out? or has it already?

[cardpogi]

@frootloops29 its been out for some time.... this is back 2008...

[LukewarmPapaya]

0:00 FREDDIE WONG!

[MrMiniszter]

Fuck microshit

[cardpogi]

@MrMiniszter fruit monglers.... -.-

[maru2264]

Can the given device read outbody temperature? Or fingerprints or palmprints or, at all, a skin? Or to feel humidity of a skin? - Technical decisions for reading all of these parameters are already exists for a long time! And at all, the century of two-dimensional solutions has already sunk into oblivion long time ago.

We encountering the situation when capital impedes the progress, forces us to remain at one level admiring the every little step forward.

Nothin new in this ordinary touchscreen

[maru2264]

one good tactics which is widely practiced by MS - is to get ideas from people and attach the MS logo to it

[SuperSuperheroman]

well this makes ordering at restaurants better and make business meetings easier, imagine placing your xbox on this and the game case then without even inserting the game in the console you will be playing it, make sense, this is genious

having multiple disks on the table then just switch games seamlessly, i love it

[ChidoriAnbu]

whens this gna b available?

[CJ090]

ok i love microsoft and absolutly hate apple but this is a bit overboard a touch screen interactive coffee table WTF well i am saying this while the video loads and 3 seconds in i see somethin amazing is about to happen so who knows maybe ill eat my words

[CJ090]

@CJ090 like i said i am eating my own words this is UNREAL like seriously unreal remember the future scene in the movie click where adam sandler is working on somthing just like this you would think this technology would nt be available for another liek 7-10 years

[holdencommstra]

agree

[MilexProductions]

iPad is a nothing, this is AWESOME I WANT IT

[thynechie]

who knows what is the amount of this great stuff?

[MrBlaziker]

wow incredible 

[isam1335]

AWESOME ! but how much is this?

[iLOLwhenuJK]

People this was added in 07'. Microsoft didnt copy the iPad. XD

[SOFLY806]

it is basically a big ass ipad

[shithead118]

i wonder hw much it is

[soslinio]

Um.... Apple already has been doing this for a long time..... Microsoft is such a copycat.

[mountaianeerfly]

@soslinio what product does apple have that is similar to this one?..trust em if microsoft copied apple, steve jobs would have sued them a long time ago

[mrdeleted]

@soslinio How did M$ copy Apple, when the Surface was an idea from 07?

[lantis123]

so would there be a BSoD on the coffee table too?

[dowling1981]

@lantis123 There can if you really want there to be. Follow your heart.

[gortair]

LOL he said wireless camera

is there wired cameras?

2:11

[xJuan23x]

big ass iPad?

if the iPad is big, then what is this?

[vodkainmayo0o]

:) iron man 2 not far

[jayman1709]

microsoft is the best fuck apple

[mrdeersniper]

That is pretty cool. kinda like the pictures are actually on your coffee table.

[BetaStationX]

I'm officially a proud Microsoft fanboy: Zune HD>Ipod touch, PC>MAC and now, surface>Ipad. Apple is NOT killing it as whatever it has made, Microsoft has topped in functionality and customization and the company even works outside commercial computing and entertainment. Unlike apple, Microsoft has extended its work over education, communications, business, IT developing since the very start and they plan to keep going wether they fail or not. hmm...Ipad, itable, iwall...yay?

[falloutkid00]

this is cool and all but who just has 10k settin around to buy new shit?

[Superflykid2008]

@falloutkid00

well, I imagine in 5 years or so, when more time has passed, and more compitition arrives, it might be down by a ton. HD TV were like 10,000 at one point. Now they're down to like 1000 and lower

[SapiouR]

how much is it??

[washmeera22]

wow amazing

[BrainDS]

Tenía que haber un chino en el proyecto...

[MUSIKALPRoPHET]

@BrainDS true

[BrainDS]

@MUSIKALPRoPHET

¿No pudiste contestar en español?

[MUSIKALPRoPHET]

@BrainDS era chistoso cuando dijistes que hay un chino en el proyecto, progque es suerto, les gustan computadoras, pienso esta haciendo mucho dinero

[sabiq1000]

if apple did something like this AND AN IPAD IS NOTHING LIKE THIS the that apple product would be so much slicker faster smoother honestly apple are killing it.

[MasterGunnerOO1]

@sabiq1000 Hypothetical proof. An all new spectrum of iFag stupidity.

[Jawanzael23]

dat iz sik

[angelinos123]

its not so amazing... i just know many many things about elecctronics. and the way they put the pictures from the camera to the surface is from a bluetooth on the side of the screen that searches an object only in the surface part and then feels where it has something touching to it and it takes it out from that point. simple...

[never4getthis]

are they selling this yet??????

[AlfieWilRus]

They definately stole this from Apple microsoft people are to dumb to do something like this

[LooperNor]

@AlfieWilRus

Was this Irony?

[G1NZOU]

@AlfieWilRus You are dumb, there are a multitude of touch technologies and it has been evolving for decades.

This uses cameras that sense your gestures instead of a capacitive touchscreen like the iPhone.

I have an iPhone and welcome something like Microsoft Surface for things like bars or hotel lobbies.

It would be nice if they make it compatible with the iPhone so that I can just place it down and share my music or photos with people.

[KevinChi22]

@AlfieWilRus woooow an apple fanboy how the fuck was it stolen?

[mackenziepricee]

@AlfieWilRus Thats funny. Bing, Windows 7, Windows Phone 7, MS Office 2010 and IE9 are saying otherwise.

[hORSEfORCE20]

this is better then the iPad.

[LesMarrants]

@hORSEfORCE20 Yeah but it's 4500 dollars more

[YASxYT]

@hORSEfORCE20 how can you even compare the iPad with this?

[101stsurvivor]

gaming capabilities? i dont think so! this product will only appeal to suits with people trapped in them and yogurt fancying hippies

[Superflykid2008]

@101stsurvivor

are you kidding me. You shoud totally be able to game with this. Imagine you could easily turn this into a touchscreen airhocky table. I already have touchscreen airhocky on my ipod touch

[ThoseWhoScream]

lol this is just the beggng

[Suburbankidd]

@BatchFileHelper

Well, its pretty big. Hopefully it has a six core opteron processor and 2 5970s, but I doubt it.

[Suburbankidd]

Wondering the specs.

[G1NZOU]

@Suburbankidd30-inch reflective surface with a XGA DLP projector underneath the surface which projects an image onto its underside, while five cameras in the machine's housing record reflections of infrared light from objects and human fingertips on the surface.

[G1NZOU]

@SuburbankiddA commercial Microsoft Surface unit is $12,500 (unit only), whereas a developer Microsoft Surface unit costs $15,000 and includes a developer unit, five seats and support. However, Microsoft said it expects prices to drop enough to make consumer versions feasible in 2010.

[G1NZOU]

@Suburbankidd

At Microsoft's MSDN Conference, Bill Gates told developers of "Maximum" setup the Microsoft Surface was going to have:

Intel Core Quad Xeon "WoodCrest" @ 2.66GHz with a custom motherboard form factor about the size of two ATX motherboards.

4GB DDR2-1066 RAM

1TB 7200RPM Hard Drive

The current commercially available version has the following specifications[18]:

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.13GHz

2GB DDR2 RAM

250GB SATA Hard Drive

[Suburbankidd]

@G1NZOU shame :(

I would have liked a 6 core 980x and DDR3 :(

[G1NZOU]

@Suburbankidd Maybe in the next version.

[jcollz]

The iPad makes me cry every time I hear about it. The sheer stupidity of such a device makes me lose faith in God. In what world does an iPad make sense? Why would you take a portable device (iPod/iPhone) and make it UNportable. The only thing it would be good for is reading books/magazines. But even in that case you could use a notebook/netbook. You can't type anything on it. It's expensive. It has no flash. You have to manually hold it up to watch/read anything.

[18lalalalala]

the only reason the ipad was built was for apple to control the market with the amazon kindle, and it beats the crap out of it, it wasnt revolutionary, but its controlling more of that market

[skittleschocolate]

apple is out of ideas and losing money, because they only made money by suckering stupid people into wanting the next best thing. unfortunately, by rushing it and making a totally new product every year, they have no more ideas, and no ones buying. they dug their own hole.

[dcbcholo]

apple fails.

[xRoundEyex]

...statistics show that right? Moron

[TDKING83]

better than dat bigg ass iPad

[Damnshid]

and 20 times more expensive

[skittleschocolate]

and 20 times more powerful, with 20 times more functionality. remember when apple fanboys said windows users simply wanted but couldnt afford mac's? well no. a mac costs 140 dollars to make, and they sell it for 1000. thats idiocracy, and mac os sucks. surface is inovative, which is why its 5k. which isnt expensive.

[Disturbed9696]

Well plus the screen his pretty big...multi touch and wireless...so yeah 5000$ or a tad more is great price.

[Meta221]

lol is that supposed to b funny? cause the ipad is actually small, and this is a huge table...

[sirshartsalot]

i totally agree

[Jazza159]

@TDKING83 hahah

[TheSchoegglnator]

@TDKING83 its probably gonna be 5 times the money too

[TheCalumZor]

BSOD

[NorwegicusOnAstick]

Who would want this huge thing?

[skittleschocolate]

im trying to get my hands on one. so... ME! comeon its sick. and its not that big.

[Superflykid2008]

@NorwegicusOnAstick

me!!!!

[T4Taco]

I love how the Apple boys automatically associate it with an iPhone or iPod Touch.

This blows those out of the water, Apples and Oranges.

[NateTheGreat555]

More like Apples and Filet Mignon....

[bayyagg]

hmmm.. it was invented by a german scientist, now doing a 3D type of table monitor!

[KetAnthony]

Meh, looks pretty much just like a huge iPhone screen, table style. Pretty cool though.
