9/17/2007 - Microsoft Surface Parody

So what was Microsoft's big answer to Apple's iPhone? No, it wasn't another phone with a touchscreen. It was a ... table ... with a touchscreen. Apparently, Microsoft doesn't think there's a future with smaller and more portable computing devices. Rather, they put their money on making computers bigger! That's right, big... as in tabletop-size big! Yeah, it has a touchscreen with cool Aqua-like animations. But really, if Apple wanted to copy something like this, they could make a table of their own in a couple of months.

Microsoft says they're going to market this thing to high-end hotels whose clientel apparently have nothing better to do than to play with a table. At least they're not trying to cater to us normal people who desire usefulness and portability in their computing devices. I mean, say what you want about the high cost of an iPhone with a two-year contract... it is a BARGAIN compared to this $10,000 monstrosity. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???

Well, this video pretty much sums up my thoughts on "Microsoft Surface":
