Microsoft Launches MSCoffeeTables

May 30th, 2007 · No Comments

With the failure of the Windows Media Center to make a dent in the next battle ground for home entertainment, the living room, Microsoft has released MS Coffee Table 1.0 or MS Surface.MS Coffee Table

Microsoft Surface, which has a 76cm (30-inch) display under a hard-plastic tabletop, allows people to touch and move objects on screen for everything from digital finger painting and jigsaw puzzles to ordering off a virtual menu in a restaurant.

It also recognises and interacts with devices placed on its surface, so cell phone users can easily buy ringtones or change payment plans by placing their handsets on in-store displays, or a group of people gathered round the table can check out the photos on a digital camera placed on top.

Microsoft is determined to corner the market for $10,000 coffee tables and expects this to be a huge market.

The question remains what combination of fingers are used to CTRL-ALT-DEL?…….
