Check out this video on the Microsoft Surface website. It details a new partnership between the software giant and Sheraton Hotels and Resorts aimed at enabling guests to access local information in hotel lobbies. Guests at five Sheratons can now sit at a 30-inch table, which doubles as a touch-sensitive computer screen, and surf information about local restaurants, bars, entertainment options and amenities.
Great for guests - but could this be curtains for the concierge?

That is cool. I remember listening to Bill Gates years ago when he was talking about screens. He said that they were working on having more as screens were getting cheaper. He said also that homes would have screens in multiple rooms and as you walk through the various rooms the screens would be able to follow so no matter what room you went you could watch the same thing.
It looks like there work is starting to pay off.
