Unfortunely as names get reused, Surface was initially something else at Microsoft.

A screen based table which one could place tags with IDs that would trigger tag specific menus around the card and a .NET SDK to go along with it.

Ah yes, I remember that. Kind of like the command table in Command & Conquer. That was a cool concept, but it was just a concept AFAIK (nowadays, it wouldn't be so novel anymore). IIRC the one they released was the mega touchscreen for presentations. Or did that have a different name?

They have the same name, hence the confusion when one doesn't know about that MSR work.
