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?

You notice gaming was not mentioned at all. While it would be cool to see your games played on so large a screen I think there'd have to be special games designed to be controlled by the fingertips for it. So .. no, I would never buy it. Even if it came in purple.
