Ars Technica writer, Jeremy Reimer, was given a rare opportunity for a personal demo of the Surface PC at Microsoft's campus. While his review offers no real news about the Surface's capabilities, it is interesting to read a 3rd person perspective of the experience. Reimer, it would seem, found the Surface an exciting new way of interacting with a PC, as indeed it is. In his conclusion Reimer writes "Although I already knew approximately what to expect when I was invited to the Microsoft campus to play with Surface, the experience of actually touching and using the unit exceeded my expectations. For a device still very much in development, it was remarkably smooth to use. " This sounds promising for those of us who are anxious to see the Surface... well, surface! Microsoft has said that it could be available for business applications as early as the end of '07 and at a cost of between $5,000 and $10,000 it will be a while before you see one in your living room, but it's coming!
