A Natural 20 Always Hits

Surface computers will revolutionize how people us computers today. One of the problems we face as computer users is that our devices aren’t really made to share. Desktops, laptops, smartphones, etc., are essentially 1 user devices that are connected to one another.

A Surface computer changes that. As this Demo shows, a small group of people can gather around this computer and play a game like D&D, which, unlike World of Warcraft and other online MMPORG, is as much about your acting skills as your adeptness with a mouse and keyboard.

As they become more available, they will open the door to the Internet and computing for many disabled people and persons who, so far, prefer the shared experience of computing.

Score 1 for Microsoft.
