Surface looks like a black shiny table with a 30-inch touch screen on the top. The screen has five cameras under it, which can sense the close objects and motions. The screen also recognizes products ant items by their bar code labels. The touch screen can respond to several touches simultaneously.

Some of first Surface computers are planned to recognize mobile phones. When a user puts a phone above the screen, it will read the bar code and give information about the device. User can also change phone settings by drugging and dropping icons to the phone.

Corporate computers such as restaurants, hotels, casinos, will enable user to listen music and buy it or order food with credit card. The only thing the users need to do is to put the credit card, rewards card or hotel room key above the screen and drug and drop the icons to it. The payment will be arranged automatically. The payment may also be arranged for ticket buying or dinner booking.

Surface will approximately cost $5,000 and $10,000 (£2,525-£5,050) and will arrive to the stores in November. In three or five years Microsoft is planning to release e cheaper version of Surface for home users.

"We see this as a multibillion dollar category, and we envision a time when surface computing technologies will be pervasive, from tabletops and counters to the hallway mirror," said Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer.

Microsoft was a software development company initially. But it is getting into hardware business slowly. The first steps were Xbox and Zune phone, and Surface computer is coming up the next. Only six software development companies have the necessary tools to make software for Surface.

Microsoft's first computer is not released yet, but it is already being spoken a lot among hardware companies, analysts, and users. All of them are excited with Surface's idea.

"Surface PC is important for Microsoft as a promising new business, as well as demonstrating very concretely to the market that Microsoft still knows how to innovate, and innovate in a big way," said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Jupiter Research.
