	No, it's not the future.  It's a toy.

	
	Imagine for a moment dealing with a thousand photos using Surface  
and using a mouse.  Which requires least effort?  The mouse.  You  
have to move your hand much, much, less distance to accomplish the  
same task.  Also note that in dealing with that many photos (or  
anything else) how many times you have to stop and clean the screen  
with Surface?

	
	As a toy, it's fun.  As a tool, it has limited application.
