Actually this multi-touch tech was originally developed in the early 80s by Bell Labs and the University of Toronto. Plenty of Touchscreens have been around since the US government research of the 60s and 70s which also contributed to the development of the internet and computers in general. The only profitable product in Microsoft's entertainment division is the Xbox, and even so that is only for 2008 and that profit itself is virtually wiped out or more by all the money put into advertising.
...except that the surface came out a year before the iphone, and they had one like it developed in 2001... and apple doesnt have deepzoom/silverlight.
awesome stuff
