Saw it a few days ago (little preview video on MSDN). Extremely cool table, awesome thing about is that it's just a servet applet for Vista, and you can do your own kind of thing with a tablet top (the thing they're using).

darn nice.
especialy the interconnectivety of devices you can lay on top of it.
we had a project once to create a multi tft touchscreen planning table but we we got stuck on the touchscreen displays.

You can actually go see this on campus in Redmond in the house of the future. Plenty of other cool stuf there too. We just trialed our Roundtable device too which is the most awesome video conferencing piece of hardware yet.

That thing is pretty sweet. I love the fact that its tangible and youve thrown out the keyboard/mouse. Sorta reminds me of what i got at work and home to draw with.......

The Cintiq 21UX is a pretty fun toy if your job has to so with design and art.
