No coffeetable any more? It was a pretty weird idea, but with interesting concepts.

I thought the same thing. The coffee table $15K plus ~~atrocity~~ research idea has become this.

The secret sauce is in the case. Touch + a trackpad is necessary to use both metro and the traditional desktop UI. Could be a good compromise so I can keep using legacy desktop apps until all the new metro apps are ready.

Wow, look at the Microsoft “logo” in the bottom right. Is that their new wordmark? Microsoft.com is still using the gashed-O wordmark.

I was wondering about that. It's the same at the end of the Surface video.

The jpg artifacts in the rendering look really awful. With Microsoft betting so much on a device like this, why can't they take a second to get something small like that right?

Ah, look, rounded corners. Almost indistinguishable from my Galaxy Tab. I wonder if Apple will sue them for design patent violation too.

Microsoft are trying so hard to be Apple, and failing so badly.

I don't know much about the Surface, but this preview website is an abomination...
