Microsoft had just announced their incredible new "Surface" computing platform (for details please see www.microsoft.com/surface and the article at Popular Mechanics).
This new computer system will revolutionize the way we play chess on the Internet. See for yourself in the "Microsoft PlayTogether" demo video from Microsoft TechFest 2007.
Note: You can also access the video at the bottom of the 3rd page of the Popular Mechanics article (www.popularmechanics.com/surfacecomputing).
Very cool stuff!
