Scratching The SURFACE Of MICROSOFT's New Table PC

(From Roughly Drafted.com)

At first glance, SURFACE appears to be a magical light table that reacts to users' touch, sensing even multiple inputs at once, as well as identifying items placed on the surface.
 
From BALLMER's demonstration, it appears to magically pull data from devices -- including digital cameras -- and recognize bottles of wine.

MICROSOFT's press releases say that SURFACE has been under secret development at MICROSOFT for over a half decade.
 
This is all tremendously out of character for the company, which has -- so far -- only sought out ways to reshape the existing Windows PC to dominate new product categories.

Has MICROSOFT morphed into a larger, richer version of APPLE, INC.?

Is MICROSFT finally shifting from a marketing company to an engineering company?
 
What's up with SURFACE, and when has the company released ground breaking new products before?
