Dave Brown, architectural evangelist at Microsoft's Technology Centre in Reading, demonstrated Microsoft's Surface touchscreen technology at its UK launch in London yesterday.
Third party developers were also on hand to show what Surface applications they've been working on for a number of big names such as Barclays, Emirates, First Direct and Tesco.
