I heard about this last week, it's pretty interesting. Though, I dunno if we will actually see it put to everyday use for a number of years.

I heard about this type of technology about1.5 years ago, on AF, in fact. I'll see if I can dig up the OP

I heard about it when Microsoft made the announcement. Pretty interesting, but IMO, kinda unnecessary. Don't expect to see it at Fry's or Best Buy for at least a year or two

Great idea.........the real question is can Microsoft really pull it off and get it to work? I am looking forward to seeing one with a blue screen on it. :-)

Well is it durable enough for a coffee table like they intend? That's one big thing to look at.

Just think... within a couple of years, your coffee table could have morecomputing power than the latest & greatest P4 that's available now.
