Microsoft Surface

Look more Technology from Microsoft.

This has been hanging in the background of rumours and images and videos etc for quite a a while. Looks rather good and fun - and unlike Vista actually different.

I'm having a nightmare here. My Nokia Mem card will not be read by my laptop and i have billions (possible exaggeration) of images that i want off of it. Also my dear phone has decided to be an arse, BUT rather than let me upgrade it online myself Vodafone UK actually have to take it back and upgrade it themselves, tell me there are no real problems and attempt to charge me for the work.

But anyway back to to Surface.

First things first.... it has a kinda post-millennium purple colour scheme that of course has to be that best part of it. Then you have the applications Microsoft want to use this for. In fact Surface is no longer just a computer it is now actually part of the furniture (Some of you might argue that it already has been for years).

But this is real huge sized furniture like - a table.

Now has Microsoft thought about what this puts them up against?

Whilst they are computer people they are now going to take on IKEA, or will we see a flat pack version of surface, available from Swedish merchants everywhere?
