      I wonder if the surface can respond to the velocity with which the user touches it. If so, I can see music applications written in which the surface is turned into a virtual instrument; it could be anything from a piano keyboard to a drum kit.

          In truth, the table UI experience is built entirely using WPF and the .NET Framework[^].

                  This made the local news, the presentation they showed was pretty cool. Seems a lot like http://bumptop.com/[^] Who knows if it will actually work that way. http://www.microsoft.com/surface/[^]

                    And the second with the exact same title. :doh: I hope it plays Omega Race. That was the best tabletop style game.

                      It probably will I think. It seems to me that Microsoft is desperate. Their products are very good but they haven't brought anything new to the table in the last couple of years. Even Vista is not realy new is is the same thing with just a new look (and a huge resource hog).

                        Hardly new, it's a touch screen at the end of the day, it's too big for real commercial use, I'd wait for polymer touch screens combined with TFT, flat and a lot more elegant. Anyway you could probably 'rig' a something up you're self using WPF?

                        .net is a box of never ending treasures, every day I get find another gem.

                              MS trying to take credit and recreate someone else's work again. But they did add some cool features like the ability to interface with any device placed on the table top... Video
