  • May it be that this video only should be an information on what a vision was in 1987 and what a fact is in 2007? Read the title. But: Did the "MS Surface" present any face-to-face long-distance contact? A biz usefulness? They showed a toy...

  • Since when does Microsoft make computers?

  • So Apple had this idea 20 years ago... and now Apple is gonna steal the same idea from Microsoft?

    And btw, Microsoft bought this table from another company, they didnt develop this theirselfs.

    Further, this isnt really a case of stealing ideas, it's a pretty forward thing of making a surface screen (in a table, on the wall, etc). It's more a case of whom has the technology.

    Apple has proven (with the iphone) it has and Apple has always been better on User Interface. So sorry microsoft (fanboy)

  • @DanAmrich oh man I wonder if when they released the ipad you ate these works in your head

  • The Ipad is sort of similar to these two. So it kind of happened in the end.

  • also while this might of been orginal its unlikely Mac had a working prototype even though Speech recognition is no where near as good as this video.

  • @KingBigBang two engineers at Microsoft Made the device, it was not acquired from an outside company. Read the wikipedia article. You are thinking of the Kinect which was aquired, Also i disagree i have used an iphone its interface is OK but i would say the WP7 is more intuitive but that is all in the eye of the beholder. Also Surface technology is pretty cool and takes a lot of engineering talent to come up with. 

  • Apple never did it, so technically Microsoft has the right to make it.

  • im a mac lover but definitely this is amazing...

  • are you dumb, where you think the movie The Island got it from....go kill yourself please....your really dumb.

  • Everyone copied this concept from the movie"The island" in 2005 developed by an MIT student
