So they bolted the table to a wall?


Yeah exactly everyone at Microsoft is so dumb. Literally all 100000+ people that work there are in the bottom 1% of intelligence worldwide. Probably because they don't use Linux. Everyone knows that just typing ls in bash boosts your IQ by over 9000 points immediately.

Why is this attitude so widespread?

Edit: oh no guys my internet points! Gimme back my internet points!


It's not that I believe Microsoft to be dumb. However the entire page makes it seem like what they've done is somehow incredibly innovative even though it is clearly not.


Why isn't it falling to the ground though?

Unless they used some sort of bolt-like technology to keep it up there...interesting...


They are using a fastenating technology to mount to the wall.


The Surface table and Surface hub use quite different touch tracking technologies. The table used cameras sitting at the floor level IIRC because touch technology was not that advanced at the time. You cannot bolt that to a wall without it protruding a lot.


No, the interactive touch-screen tabletop computers that used to be called "Surface" are now "PixelSense".


There might be a software component to this.


my thought exactly.
