Windows 7 Starter Product Key Do you want a Surfac

Microsoft went public at 12:01 a.m. on Might possibly 30 together with the name of its “Milan”/PlayTable technology. The combined hardware/software device is now known as the Microsoft Surface and is due to debut in November.In one of many press releases on Milan and surface computing on Microsoft;s PressPass site this morning,Windows 7 Starter Product Key, there is a Q&A with Tom Gibbons, the corporate VP in charge of Microsoft;s Productivity and Extended Consumer Experiences Group. Gibbons describes the move Microsoft is expecting to surface computing being “as significant as the move from DOS [Disk Operating System] to GUI [Graphic User Interface].”Wow. That;s a pretty big claim for something that currently seems very niche to me. Even though the first set of announced customers for Surface are big businesses (T-Mobile, Starwood, Harrah;s), ultimately, Microsoft seems to see the Surface Computer as a consumer product.But do I really need a table at a restaurant (or in my home) to tell me the best food pairings for my wine choice? Or to generate for me a customized version of a map of local attractions?Unless there are some surface-computing form factors that don;t look like a chunky coffee table or a retail-store kiosk, I have zero interest in a Surface. For now, the first iterations of Microsoft;s Surface Computer seem a lot to me like the first “Origami” ultra-mobile PCs: Products in search of a market. (And not very well-designed products, at that.)Even though Microsoft isn;t talking publicly about how and where else the Milan surface/multi-touch technology may well figure, Long Zheng over at istartedsomething.com discovered some interesting hints. Zheng found hidden in a Flash file that;s part of Surface collateral an intersting reference: “Microsoft’s New Milan Media Player on Store Shelves on Nov 14.” Sure sounds like a Zune with a multi-touch display to me….I;m curious. Am I the only one out there who sees the Surface computer as about as cuddly as a point-of-sale terminal?[Poll=9]
