Microsoft’s new product, SURFACE, is a crazy computer with a tabletop interface. Does this mean MS is looking to compete with IKEA? Perhaps, if IKEA gets in to the $10,000 table market. The features on this thing seem too good to be true, but if it does half of what MS says, then we’re looking at a quantum upgrade in how we interact.

Their website says that Microsoft has been working for more than five years on a super secret computer table that can do all sorts of cool things, and you can put your feet on it. Check it out:

It reminds me of the old Pac-Man tabletop games I used to play when I was a teenager — perfect because you could set a slice of pizza right next to the controls. I don’t think I’d put pizza on the Surface’s surface, but they show some interesting applications with cocktail glasses, so who knows?
