Surface computing

Delete article "Surface Computing'

Reasons:

"Surface Computing is a new technology successor of touchscreen systems, developed by Microsoft"

Surface computing was not invented or developed by Microsoft, and has been in development by different asian developers and american colleges since 2002.

The article sounds more like an ad then an informative article
" This is by making the surface appear as the board with a 3D ball and your hand-movements can be sensed and ball positions are suitably altered."

The technology behind Microsoft Surface is not fully revealed, but it does not use "3D balls", rather motion sensitive cameras and some multi-touch sensing. Alegoo92 22:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Delete as poorly sourced advertorial, without prejudice to future recreation in a different form. Lots of hits for surface computing that would be enough to make an article, but this advertorial is not it. The ref to MS probably comes from http://www.microsoft.com/surface/ Adrian M.
