If Microsoft ruled the world (literally), this is what life would be like by 2019. I want to live in it now. Sorry Apple, I love you but this just looks too damn amazing. Too bad real Microsoft products are no where near cool, useful, or stable.

Apple, will do it bigger and better... and it'll be stable.
Apple will do it more expensive and just as important, trendier.
They forgot the "Critical Vulnerability Patch Download Failed" screen.
Hmmm, the future seems very touch heavy. Maybe the technology will improve so much that everything is telepathic. LOL!
how boring.
with a technology of ultrathin, ultraflexible, ultrahires, ultrasensible display material all they can dream of are screens, cards an tablet devices to tap on with fingers?
Everyone's got a complaint... Hopefully it doesn't end up like the Terminator movies.
Hei! What's about the life experience as a human beings?
Just think of all of the new ways they can bombard our lives with Spam >_
What bothers me is how no one in the video seems capable of thinking....a scientist needs a tablet to recognize a sage plant?!
I recognize a sage plant because i grocery shop. I hope in the future we all recognize them from the farmer's market or our home garden. Not because a computer told us what it was.
Complaining aside: bad ass video.
Aside from the Microsoft logo at the end of the video, I don't see anything about it that indicates that company's involvement in this simulation of future computing. I don't see any specific company involved, in fact.
It is a very nice video and it reminds me of technologies I've seen in TV shows and movies. Minority Report is a good example of such a movie. But it is mostly just special effects and pip-dreaming. It reminds me of old Popular Science magazines: some of the technology will be developed and some won't. Some of these technologies are available now, but they require the use of a special table with a projector pointing down at it to provide the imagery.
Overall, I would say that if any company were to develop this technology successfully, it will either be Apple, Oracle (not as likely since they tend to focus on the enterprise), or some company we haven't heard of yet. Microsoft would not be able to develop something as clean-looking as this and have it be reliable. Sure, Apple's solution would probably be more expensive, but you often get better quality with a higher price. I know that's been the case with all the Macs I've owned over the years. They've all been very stable and my only reason for upgrading has been to get the newest, fastest processor.
