Microsoft Surface

If u know what the title means, then u know what I'm gonna write about. I glanced through lowyat.net couple of weeks ago for electronic news as usually. 1 thing that really grabbed my eyes. It was the table computer by microsoft. The table is made possible by the future vision of the founder of microsoft, none other than Bill Gates. It is expected to be released on November this year to of course large scale enterprises 1st before any of end users could check their ATM balance in the wake of the coming of this machine. It sound absolutely new in everything, yeap, but if u realize the specs, they look very much the same as those found on laptops' brochure. It will initially runs on intel powerhouse Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, Graphics of at least 256MB, Wireless Intel ABG, Bluetooth and last but most importantly.... It runs on Vista, tho I dont think the screen look familiar with vista. No mouse, no keyboard just HANDS ON. According to Microsoft, the early capability of the Table only merely to do some simple hands stuff like viewing photos and video, map, ordering meals, transfering files from certain device like Zune, Mobile phones and Digital camera. All u have to do is to put it on the table, Voila! All the pics in the camera will literally splash out onto the table . Thence, u know what to do. Do u know the Machine design was originally an IKEA design? Personally, I would love it more if Apple's the 1 who come out with this innovation. Microsoft has a rich history of users' complaint with their products which include Vista. Plus Apple has been great in Innovation, eg Ipod and of course Iphone.
