I thought the whole idea of Surface was that it would interact not only with user touch but also with devices placed on it (like cameras, PDAs, etc) so you can easily drag things on and off. That part was pretty cool (the photo demo where they slide the images from a camera to a PDA). Anyway, the geek in me can't resist laughing at MS for pushing their "Silverlight" platform as a competitor to Flash, and yet they continue to use Flash for their mini-sites like this. Classic.
