"From the Big Surprise Department: Microsoft Delays Surface
It looks like Microsoft's futurist Surface table computer is still futuristic: Despite claiming earlier this year that the table would be in hotels, restaurants, and casinos by the end of November, Microsoft is now saying that it's delaying the release until sometime in 2008.
"What we have found out is this is not a one-size-fits-all solution," said Microsoft Director Mark Bolger. Here's what I recommend. You guys need Microsoft Surface Living Room Edition 2008, Microsoft Surface Nightstand Edition 2008, Microsoft Surface Home Office Edition 2008, and Microsoft Surface Kitchen Table Edition 2008 for this year, and then maybe next year you could expand beyond that. I'm thinking TV stands, counters, and, what the heck, bidets. Blue screens will never be so unexpected."
