The future is all about touching

Bill Gates just finished a live debat/question round in terms of what the future brings. Well as we know Mr Gates has dominated the PC market in many ways, but he was also a man that wrote a book claiming that the internet would be a big thing... Doh, well today when Netscape stops its activity (Explorer of Windows killed it), Bill admitted that he made mistakes. In terms of the search engine tools and even the browser but also Vista (just purchase the upgrade...)

Gates has never really succeeded in making his product sexy or desirable like Apple but just found ways to force feed his products. He even claims not to own any Apple product, maybe a Zune is better than an Ipod??

Anyway, today he announced a world changing vision of Microsoft. A world in which people will be able to use all their IT gadgets through Touch. (did I hear this somewhere before?) The system Gates has called Surface is making us use all high tech gadgets with our fingertips. Digital photos, Internet, Music,... you name it, you touch it! Strangely enough, it feels like Microsoft is always running behind Apple but maybe this time they are be able to launch it properly and completely working but to me it still sounds like a jealous IT nerd that wants to copy others and take credit for it... But well, maybe my 'anger' is due to my crashing web browser of Mr B.G. Check out the 'revolution'
