Microsoft today unveiled to the world a project they have been working on for the past five years. The project, codenamed Milan is a tabletop PC that requires no mouse or keyboard. You control this revolutionary PC using both your hands on its surface. In fact, multiple users can use the surface PC at the same time as it can recognize multiple touches on its screen.

I can go on and on describing this really cool concept, but I’d rather just show you a commercial for it. The Microsoft Surface PC is due to arrive end of this year to select partners.

The expensive components required to allow multiple users to touch the device simultaneously give it a price tag approaching $10,000. As a result, Microsoft isn’t targeting homes initially, though it hopes consumers can own their own Milan within three to five years. For now, Microsoft is focusing on getting the products into public spaces in the hospitality arena–hotel lobbies, restaurants, and casinos, to name a few.
