What's Good with Microsoft Surface?

Media_httpwwwflytipco_ojalh
After doing a one-night gig at Caesars in Vegas last month, 'Surface' is scheduled to surface in 4 cities today. After months of delay, Microsoft plans to debut the much-anticipated touch-screen tabletop computer at a few select AT&T stores in New York, Atlanta, San Antonio, and San Bruno, Calif. Pictured is Jerry Yang, the poker professional giving Surface a try last month in Vegas.
