OK, it's a little past midnight and here's the Microsoft secret... a 10,000 buck interactive table.

I'm going back to bed.

Read about it here

Watch it, here:

Victor: Hey, don't knock it. That table looks pretty cool, especially the way photos spill out of your camera and then can be dragged wirelessly to a cell phone or whatever.

Imagine, when the price comes down to about $800 or so, having your main PC in one room, but then having one of these tables built into your kitchen counter or whatever, just for handling media duties and having it wirelessly networked to your PC.

And it could be a really nifty gaming display, particularly for Xbox Live Arcade-type games. Imagine playing Geometry Wars by dragging your fighter through the level with your finger.

Combine this multi-touch display with a good voice recognition system, and we could be finally looking at the obsolescence of the keyboard-and-mouse combo.
