Microsoft wants to demonstrate that the surface is an important project for them, so after the launch in Europe (but outside the reach of almost all of us, for its price), now updated with Service Pack 1 Surface.
This is not a new version, but a number of improvements on existing functionality, for ease of use and interactivity with the user. For example, now offers the user visual responses by clicking on the screen, so it is clear what action we are doing at every moment.
On the side of developers, this Surface Service Pack 1 offers new options, increasing the number of APIs available, such as integrating it with XNA, a programming interface for video games, or creating a series of gestures that are equivalent in multitáctiles Surface, in Windows 7 and Windows Mobile 7.
Another change for developers is the integration of controls WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), so it is easier to adapt traditional applications interface tactile surface. Labels to recognize the various objects placed on the table are also now more accessible to developers.
And while most of us never have such a table at home, the future of touchscreen interfaces through such developments, then we arrive to the consumer versions, as do, for example, Windows 7.
