Wow!
I noticed in the Channel 10 video that they use the word "collaboration" a lot. So,... can you truly collaborate with this,... meaning - to other Surface stations? A la NetMeeting,... or even as Skype does with the Sketch Pad plug in? Granted it is using the mouse on the computer instead of my fingers, but I can "collaborate" with others in a different city using Sketch Pad through Skype using a "multi-touch" like set up. I think collaborative/interactive set ups between one Surface station in New York and another in Los Angeles would be awesome for conference calls/meetings.
In a similar idea,... how about in the classroom? I work at a University and I see this being an interesting teaching method for professors to interact with their students in a lecture. Let's say it is the Biology professor in a lecture hall with over 200 students. He is disecting a "virtual pig" and picks a student out of the crowd to "find the kidney and remove it." With the multi-touch feature in a true collaborative setting, the student could do so from their seat.
Of course, the Calculus professor could have the student finish the equation or the music professor could have the student finish writing the notes to the song, etc. etc.
Just a thought.
