We'll start seeing more of it in hotels, casinos, restaurants, maybe at the theme park as well! And it's less of a Microsoft vs Apple thing than it is as an innovation for the masses. Sure there'll be fans arguing that MS is better and there are those who thinks the Apple reigns supreme, but at the end of the day their products will still be in our hands. If BMW start pushing their Konfigurator into showrooms, maybe, just maybe, we might see a Proton BuatanSendiri in the next 10 years. Lol. PS: do they allow us to choose the colour of our spark plugs? :P Well Microsoft Surface has been in development since 2001 and they’ve just pushed it on to the commercial market late last year.

Surface computing, on the other hand is a totally different and much more advanced technology because it can sense 3-D objects using the infrared sensor, not just normal hand gestures or pressure. See the BMW demo again, when they put the tiles that represent different color and wheel trim, the BMW pictures change accordingly because of this advanced surface computing technology. There is no way a normal touchscreen (used by Apple et al.) can do this. For more information on Microsoft Surface Computing technology, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/surface/index.html (I just love the demos in the Surface Computing site...) To “amad_a”
