If microsoft follows through on the surface thing could change.
If Microsoft keeps improving the surface and making it cheaper at some point there will be a number of very trendy things to run on it and at that point once it is more affordable then a lot of dining tables may well become 2m versions of this device selling for no more than a goon timber table say $3000 and end up in a lot of new homes and some others as well a replacing some boardroom tables ether with the while surface of the table or sections at each seating position. It is my contention that this product could yet become a huge success
