Microsoft Surface gets hands on in UK

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.

silicon.com went along for a closer look at the technology in action.

    Is it me, or is the only real advantage of this technology that it's easier to keep clean than a keyboard and mouse?
    I don't mean to be a luddite about this but i can't see anything that a touchscreen allows you to do that you couldn't do more accurately with a mouse. Suggestions?
