Broken record...

I use Vista out of necessity (need to understand how our software product interacts with it) and Ubuntu by choice at home. Thinking of buying a Mac-Mini to do a home-cinema thing with Front Row or something. So I am not a fanboy, of MS or otherwise. That would appear to place me in a minority on here. If Apple or the OSS community had posted a video like the Surface vids, you lot would have hard-ons about it. If the shoe were on the other foot, Apple would be the holy inventor and MS would be doomed. Instead, MS talk about it, and you assume they ripped it off and that it couldn't possibly be half-decent. Even the guy in charge of special effects on Minority Report is quoted as saying they used a prototype of a MS product in the movie, which was released in 2002, validating MS's claim that they were working on this thing way back in 2001. As for hurling personal insults at the new MS employee, the grapes really must taste quite sour... Star Wars and better intercoms leaves me intrigued...
