With Gates' recent demonstration of the TouchWall, Microsoft blogger Mary Jo Foley voiced her thoughts with a blog entry entitled "Does Microsoft really need to diversify into consumer products?" which looked at the broader picture of Microsoft continuously moving into new markets.

http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/1...-touch-display/ The video pretty much speaks for itself. I love the concept of Surface, but some of the preliminary cost figures I've heard have definitely priced it out of my living room for a while. Touchwall uses a much simpler mechanism but still provides many of the great features of Surface at what should hopefully be a much more consumer friendly...

The product provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface...
You've seen (and probably drooled over) Microsoft's Surface touchscreen tabletop. Well, some intern over at Microsoft Research accidentally knocked it on its side and — voilà! — the Microsoft TouchWall was born. The new TouchWall features the same multi-touch...
The digital future appears to be one that embraces touch-screen technology, or so Microsoft thinks. Last year they showed off the $10,000 Surface, which is a large touch-screen table that can interact with things that are placed on it. For example, the Surface has started showing up in AT&T stores as a way for users [...]
GuessMicrosoft isn't content with its Surface multitouch computing system and have decided to introduce a vertically-oriented upgrade known as the TouchWall.

by Thomas Ricker , posted May 14th 2008 at 6:59AM Remember that rumor of a spherical MicrosoftSurface bouncing around the labs of Redmond? At the time, we didn't get it. Now, imagine if you would the combination of a multi-touch sphere with these 360-degree games from SusiGames. Oh sure, the games have been kicking around art shows and design exhibitions for several months now, and rely...
Microsoft showed off a new product dubbed TouchWall at its CEO Summit today. As the name suggests, the product is another multi-touch platform that you can control with a sweep of your hand, though this time coming in a whole lot cheaper than the $10,000 Surface, costing just a few hundred dollars worth of readily available hardware.
"Every surface will be a computer." So spake Bill Gates at the annual CEO Summit, sounding much like himself a few decades ago when he promised a computer on every desk. Since then we've collectively... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

This device is a touch screen hardware setup, that is built on a version of Vista; it is called Plex.

Making DIY versions of Microsoft's multitouch Surface table seems to be so popular, even Microsoft themselves are getting in on the action. Somewhat bizarrely, the company has developed another multitouch platform, this time coming in a whole lot cheaper than the $10k Surface. TouchWall basically relies on three infrared lasers that scan the surface of a plexiglass board,...
TouchWall, a prototype device currently in development by Microsoft Research and Office Labs is a lot like MicrosoftSurface, the tabletop computer with multi touch capabilities, except now it hangs from your wall. Some basic uses of TouchWall include dragging, scrolling, enlarging documents as well as viewing photos and videos. At the CEO Summit, [...]
