And you can easily compare this to multitouch that iPhone and iPod uses. As ar as I know, there are other implementations with bigger screen sizes and other frameworks that implement this.

Just wait a little, ,maybe Apple will pull out a table like this and you’ll not say that “origins” were Microsoft or other researcher that created the idea but lacked the implementation, but rather an amaizing Apple product that will revolutionize the market.

It’s an awesome first look under the hood of Surface development.

Multitouch research has been going on since the early eighties. The games industry has been making use of gesture and natural physics for years now. And smart phones have been around for a long while. […]

Probably best in field. On the other, it sucks that they feel they need to pretend that the whole movement started internal to MS. Lamers.
