Pursuing their struggle for world domination, Microsoft have launched Surface, which the tech giant claims to be the world’s first table-top computer. Six years in the making, Surface was initially conceived as an interactive gaming table eventually evolving from approximately 85 prototypes into the final product: a 30-inch horizontal display table with a translucent surface that can be manipulated via hand motions, gestures and the touch of objects. Personally I like the concept and will be watching out for further
information however, the couple they have chosen to use within the horrendous marketing videos on the site quite frankly make me want to weep. Usually we are faced with the conundrum of “you can’t polish a turd” so when a company actually has a highly promising product to launch, make sure the advertising reflects the quality of the product.
