just FYI, this was developed by microsoft from the scratch... (view the history tab or whatever link it is)... idea may have been taken, but the whole technology was developed by microsoft. But I have seen those videos of this kinda stuff being tested, those were more however floors not so much tables (from what I remember).

So this guy, who isnt with MicroSoft has nothing to do with MS having this technology now?
It seems that there are a lot of companies getting into it, MS is just one of them.

Technically, none of this stuff is new. I have seen similar interfaces etc. as far back as 03. This is getting hype now because technology has gotten cheap enough (screen and otherwise) to make this a feasible as a consumer product.
Microsoft did build THEIR software from the ground up; but it was not an original idea. I am not an MS hater either, there are seldom ideas that are 100% new. People need to understand much of technology and computer programming is based off of existing ideas, or taking it one step further.
Anyway, I'm glad everybody here is looking forward to troubleshooting more wireless connections :evil2:
I can see the older generation now, slamming their cameras into the table harder and harder, because the damn thing won't connect.
