Table Top PC - another Microflop device genere

The table top computer surface/computer has to be one of the dumbest I've heard of this year. If the report is to believe then it seems that Microsoft just doesn't learn - they have flopped so many times trying to reinvent the PC - from the PocketPC, to tablet PC, to UMPC, they have all pretty much tanked - and the table top PC will do the same.

The reason is even if people wanted it then it just wouldn't work. All flat surfaces in homes gather junk - books, coffee cups, keys, bills and if that surface is touch sensitive then that just isn't going to work. And even if the table was magically clear all the time (maybe you hire a maid to clean up your PC table, rather like cleaning up your hard drive) it still isn't going to work because looking down at something isn't any sensible way to get information. Who places their newspaper or magazine flat on the coffee table and reads it? Almost no one. And to get a decent view of the information you would have to stoop over it anyway - a back pain inducing stance. Guys (and we know it must have been guys who designed this), you need to either hold a screen in your hands like a regular book or phone, or sit in front of it like a regular TV or computer screen. So seriously, give up trying to reinvent the computing device and get back to working on your OS upgrade which from what I've heard should be called "Hasta la Vista" (dudes).
