Microsoft "Microsoft has unveiled a new touch-sensitive coffee table-shaped computer called 'Surface'. Designed to do away with the need for a traditional mouse and keyboard, users can instead use their fingers to operate the computer. Also designed to interact with mobile phones placed on the surface, Microsoft says it will initially sell the unit to corporate customers. These will include hotels, casinos, phone stores and restaurants." Instant update: More details and a video.

I'd be interested to see a dedicated multi-touch OS rather than just an adapted version of Vista (et al). I know this is a long way yet, but I'd be very interested to see how such a system would be built. Maybe Gene Roddenberry got it right and we'd all be using LCARS like OSs ;-)
