Microsoft Surface is a 30-inch (76 cm) display in the form of a table, 22 inches (56 cm) tall, 21 inches (53 cm) deep, and 42 inches (107 cm) left to right. The tabletop is acrylic, while the interior frame is constructed of powder-coated steel. The platform’s software runs on a customized version of Windows Vista, and is equipped with wired Ethernet 10/100, wireless 802.11 b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity. Released on May 30th, 2007, Microsoft Surface came to light in early 2001, and similar concepts have been featured in movies like Minority Report, who actually talked with Microsoft during the making of the movie. Unlike your normal PC, the touch screen allows users to be as hands on as possible, manipulating images with their fingertips.

The cool thing about this bad-boy is that Van Gogh could have even used it to create his own digital masterpieces, as unlike your standard touch screen, Surface uses a series of infra-red cameras can see when there’s movement on or across the screen. While not yet the big dog on the block, these machines are the wave of the future, bringing ease to your work presentations, and the fun back in computing for your everyman. Bottom line: in the coming years, you’ll see Microsoft Surface machines all over the place. Instead of trying to one-up Apple with a better OS, or higher powered computer, they’ve proven that anything can be done in the realm of technology. Let’s just hope this thing isn’t a gateway to the matrix…or did I speak too soon?
