Today it is released but for the entertainment business and enterprise. Microsoft presents a whole new paradigm for computing through <A class="" href="http://www.microsoft.com/surface/" mce_href="http://www.microsoft.com/surface/">Microsoft Surface</A>. </P> <P>It is now a reality that it will be released as a show case in one of shertaon's hotels and possibly by other companies like T-Mobile. </P> <P>I am going for a conference introducing Microsoft Surface computing this week hopefully and try it my self.&nbsp;I hope to play around with it and maybe take some kewl photos. :)</P> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P> <P>Anyway i see the surface computing is still too expensive for the home user as it is still priced 5000 - 10,000. WOW, i don't think alot of families would put money in such a gadget not now. further, i think it would be nice if it includes more applications such as integrating media center and maybe replacing the xbox :) who knows!!</P> <P><IMG style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 184px" height=184 src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1226/528191724_bd726b9fe5_m.jpg" width=240 align=left mce_src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1226/528191724_bd726b9fe5_m.jpg"></P> <P>&nbsp;This is one of the applications for surface computing showing future restaurants using it as a way for handling customer orders. very Kewl !!!</P> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3067103" width="1" height="1">MicrosoftMicrosoft SurfaceSurface Computinghttp://blogs.msdn.com/akramhussein/archive/2007/03/22/windows-live-local-rocks.aspxThu, 22 Mar 2007 07:52:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1928841akhus0http://blogs.msdn.com/akramhussein/comments/1928841.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/akramhussein/commentrss.aspx?PostID=1928841<P>Oh i love windows live local so much, here is a trailer that was published on soapbox. I love the scratch pad and able to organize my search, second the connect me feature that allows live local to call for you the business, restaurant or whatever you are searching for and connecting both of you over the phone. Most amazingly is the 3D embeded control allowing you to view 3D buildings, and of course the Kewl Bird's Eye View :) who can ever beat that.</P> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P><EMBED pluginspage=http://macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer src=http://images.soapbox.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf width=412 height=362 type=application/x-shockwave-flash flashvars="c=v&amp;v=0013b838-ffbb-428a-a21e-d3d5a217c6d9" wmode="transparent" quality="high" mce_src="http://images.soapbox.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf"></EMBED><BR><A title="Virtual Earth 3D Trailer" href="http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=0013b838-ffbb-428a-a21e-d3d5a217c6d9" target=_new mce_href="http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=0013b838-ffbb-428a-a21e-d3d5a217c6d9">Video: Virtual Earth 3D Trailer</A><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1928841" width="1" height="1">Live SearchMicrosoftlive localhttp://blogs.msdn.com/akramhussein/archive/2007/03/19/microsoft-defines-the-future.aspxMon, 19 Mar 2007 06:06:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1910736akhus7http://blogs.msdn.com/akramhussein/comments/1910736.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/akramhussein/commentrss.aspx?PostID=1910736<P mce_keep="true">Microsoft again defines the future of computing :) enjoy</P><EMBED name=msn_soapbox pluginspage=http://macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer src=http://images.soapbox.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf width=412 height=362 type=application/x-shockwave-flash mce_src="http://images.soapbox.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="c=v&amp;v=c3d3a41f-e914-444f-819c-c7cb0f036c06"></EMBED><BR><A title="Microsoft's computer future concept" href="http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=c3d3a41f-e914-444f-819c-c7cb0f036c06" target=_new mce_href="http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=c3d3a41f-e914-444f-819c-c7cb0f036c06">Video: Microsoft's computer future concept</A> <P mce_keep="true">&nbsp;</P>here is how we also defined the future before in October 2003, long time ago before Tiger was even born so don't tell me Vista is a copy of tiger <EMBED pluginspage=http://macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer src=http://images.soapbox.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf width=412 height=362 type=application/x-shockwave-flash flashvars="c=v&amp;v=3c3fcd9c-83f8-4d89-98c9-f347141b4ded" wmode="transparent" quality="high"></EMBED><BR><A title="&quot;Longhorn Rocks&quot; - Windows Vista's history " href="http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=3c3fcd9c-83f8-4d89-98c9-f347141b4ded" target=_new>Video: "Longhorn Rocks" - Windows Vista's history </A><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1910736" width="1" height="1">Microsoft
