Microsoft Surface, Would you buy it? Options

[Kiln]

Well guys the people at Microsoft have been hard at work making something new and exciting...at least they think so. The new Microsoft surface is a table computer that you operate without a mouse or keyboard, simply by using your hands or various other objects to touch the screen. Personally I think it looks interesting but not nearly as practical as people at Microsoft believe it to be. The parody I've posted basically goes along with how I veiw the Microsoft Surface.

Here's the site with info and the trailer- http://www.microsoft.com/surface/index.html

So what do you think?

So, basically it does all the same stuff a regular computer does, just in a different way. That seems pretty pointless. And it seems like it would be impractical for a lot of stuff. How would you type out a long report? I mean looking at pictures and videos, and being able to move them around with your fingers, is a little. Would it be cool to have one? Sure. Would I ever buy one? Probably not. And I doubt bars and restaurants will pay thousands of dollars for a table that people put their food and drinks on.
