  1. Cannot get rid of a stupid Microsoft account on my surface


    I canNOT delete a microsoft account off my surface. I have tried everything. There is no option to remove the account I want gone, only manage. My other account that I actually use and want to keep on the computer has a remove option, but I don't want to get rid of it. I have tried removing the device from the account I want gone, but it will not do anything, and I still can't get rid of the account on the computer, PLEASE HELP. I'm legit about to swear off Microsoft computers for good.

    :)

  2. Microsoft launches Surface Computing

    The launch of Microsoft Surface marks the beginning of a new technology category and a user-interface revolution. Surface, Microsoft’s first surface computer, provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface computing breaks down traditional barriers between people and technology, changing the way people interact with all kinds of everyday information — from photos to maps to menus.

    Key features demonstrated in the videos included:
    • Multi-touch ability.
    • Recognition and syncing of wireless devices by placing on touch panel
    • Ability to identify non-digital devices, such as a drink glass, based on shape.
    • Hand gesture system to further interact with the touch panel.
    • New, non-windows based interface.
    The videos really speak for themselves. According to the website, Surface technology will be
    available in Winter 2007.
