Too bad most of us would have to wait many years before we can actually get our hands on one. Whether it be because of monetary reasons or waiting for the bugs to be ironed out. I wonder how it would react to liquid spills, heavy object load and so on while it's on. However, technology like this could make collaborative projects a lot easier. Although I wonder if it's pressure sensitive like a graphic tablet. On top of that, how stable is the Operating system? We know that Microsoft has a bad track record for being rather unstable (the trade off for having choice). Now that they have to design an OS that's specifically for a piece of hardware they've designed as well, would they do significantly better? Either case, I'd probably keep a close eye on this technology. It's something I might want to have if/when I start up my own Design firm (not for many, many years). Plus, it'd be neat to have at home...although I can't say I agree with the ergonomic design of the hardware...it forces you to slouch over, which could be very bad for your back after a certain amount of time.
