A very long time ago in tech years, Microsoft’s Surface wasn’t a tablet. It was the name of a huge, table-sized touchscreen device designed for businesses to bore people with and super-villains to use to outline their world domination plans to captured spies. Now a man’s stuck Windows 8 on one. For a laugh.
The above video comes via our Australian friends, with Aussie reader Mick somehow finding himself in possession of Microsoft’s touchable table and deciding to stick Windows 8 on it. And it looks pretty good, although the sweeping arm movements required to control it might end up getting a bit too much after 20 intense minutes of shoving tiles around the place.
Microsoft’s original Surface still lives on, only it’s been given the new name PixelSense and is being sold as the Samsung SUR40. It’s such a limited edition thing you have to phone someone at Samsung if you want to buy one. [Gizmodo Australia]
ITS NOT A SURFACE lol
He built it himself, read the comments sheesh
and FIRST!
I’ll never fit that in my pocket!
the more i use windows 8 on my laptop, the more i am liking it.
a job well done as far as i am concerned.
There’s something strangely satisfying about having a large interactive map to play with.
Very Bond villain-esque.
Interactive game of Risk anyone?
Want!! I’m my LAIR!
