Microsoft announced their new product today called “Surface”. I’d say it is a little ahead of its time yet, but could be useful for certain applications. A product like this has to be 100% bug free and work flawless to be placed in public places for use by average people. It can’t scare off folks that aren’t used to technology, or it will end up hurting your business rather than helping it. A restaurant application looked really neat for order drinks, desserts, and especially for paying for your meals. If it works well it could attract people in simply for the novelty of it. Microsoft surface will have a future, but it won’t be overnight.

Here was my first attempt.

Nice!

Here is how you do it.
