My old man sent me this video link today. It showcases what Microsoft has been developing for a while: A multi-touch computer.
Sure, this type of computer is out there somewhere, but nothing like this.
Words cannot express anything if you haven't seen it, so here's the video.

The reason I put this topic in the Video Game Forum was because of this: Could you imagine how this would affect the Video Game industry? Think about the games that could be developed because of this and utilize its functions.

Tsk, tsk, tsk... heard about the tablet PC from Microsoft before, and it still astonishes me how much they want to intricate Apple's ideas into their own systems...

Almost deserves the EPIC FAIL of the day. The only thing I see good from it is the ability to recognize objects on its surface, that's about it. :?

Heh, Tablet PC's aren't multi-touch. Tablet pc is basically a big PDA.

Intriguing, I think that I've seen it somewhere, with it, I won't have any problems transferring my files and documents, it's mostly used for that and viewing photos, I may need to think twice 'bout it being used for games
