Microsoft enters the multi-touch world with Surface. And what a pleasant surprise that is! The wireless interaction with objects placed on the ‘table’ is fantastic news and a true innovation as far as a finished product is concerned. Seeing the Microsoft promotional videos as well as the Popular Mechanics video embedded below I wonder what this will mean to companies like Wacom (and how they are going to respond to this) and to the many thousands of digital artists that will, sooner or later, get this amazing technology on their desks and workstations. Its exhilarating to see a company of this size (and reputation) accelerate the proliferation of such amazing technology, spur competition and lower the cost. At last something truly impressive from Redmond!
