  2. Changing microsoft accounts when setting up a new computer

    I am trying to set up a new computer, but I logged in with the wrong microsoft account and now I can't transfer my information from my old PC. On my new computer I'm stuck on the screen that says restore from a PC. I can't seem to back up, log out, or get off this screen to change to the correct microsoft account. Any suggestions?

    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.
