Microsoft Surface

“While the first Microsoft Surface units won’t hit the market until Winter 2007.”

Man, some days the jokes just write themselves.

Some of the stuff they demoed is possible now. Why can’t I use a mouse to put push pins on MSN Maps (or whatever it’s called now) or Google maps? Why can’t I push photos around on my Windows or OS X desktop? Oh that’s right, because putting photos in a big pile and pushing them around doesn’t work that well in real life. Maybe churches could use this in their stained glass windows. Walk up to the temple or cathedral, touch the glass, and have it tell you a story.

The real question is: Can you actually get the Aero Glass interface in Microsoft Surface?

argh, need coffee before the meeting extravaganza starts.
