Microsoft is changing the world

So I was sitting in the Pike house yesterday and Jeff Chartier and Andrew Bing bring up some video on about Microsoft and they are suprised that i havn’t seen it yet. So we go to the page and check it out. I was amazed. I’m gonna be drunk one night at a bar, set my drink down, and virtual bubbles will fall off my glass onto the table. nd as I am blackouted laughing, I will play with them in great joy. I am just wondering what will happen when I sloppily spill my drink on this super expensive touch-table. It will probably be at least 3 or 4 more years until these things are implemented more, but I’m frickin excited. Check it out!
