"A computer on every desktop"; hell no! how about "Every desktop is a computer"

So in today's world of constant change and innovation it often seems to me like all we're doing is re-inventing the wheel ... making things a little smoother, a little quicker. It is not often that something truly revolutionary hits the streets anymore .... It does happen from time to time, like the launch of the iPhone from Apple, but not THAT often.

This week however saw one of those defining moments. What is it you ask .... well Microsoft announced the launch of Microsoft Surface..........

No, this is not another Microsoft "innovation" that is based on concepts and ideas from Mac; IMHO this one is earth shattering, ground breaking and has the potential to change the way we think of computers today. They've done it again, the same as they changed the world of personal computing by introducing the first real graphical operating system by giving us Windows 3.1, now they give us Microsoft Surface.

 But enough from me .... go check out the videos and go make up your own minds about how powerful and fundamentally revolutionary this is.

Now the burning question is .... where on earth (out side of Bill's office) do I get one of these things?

Unfortunately the innovation isn't theirs; this innovation is based on concepts from Jeff Han, who did a talk about multi-touch surface computing a few years ago at a conference called TED ;o)
