It's an amazing piece of technology to interact with. The ability for surface to recognise inanimate objects (with no discernable heat/IR signature) like a paint brush is truly amazing - and set's the tech apart from other "multi touch" offerings.

I think the "wine demo" is a really awesome example of how Surface will change the way we document and share parts of our lives.

The possibilities are (almost) endless! :)

It's so great to see Surface more mainstream and with some great example scenarios.  Thanks for the interview and coverage!  I'd certainly like to see more examples around education (similar to what Peter Stern conceived, per this post): we have Smartboards in our local classrooms and the Surface concept would map well to that use.
