Microsoft Surface has just been announced and has started to ripple through blogs (Rob has just blogged about it), tonight it will be a tidal wave!!.
Surface is a multi-touch computing system which is built in to a table which should be in the shops by the end of the year.
There's a 18 min interview demoing Surface posted on Channel 10 here. or pop along to the Surface home page.
It's all very Minority Report meets Table-top Space Invaders ;)

Did take me all evening to d/l it last night and when it finished I did have problems with the Beta not being availiable and then not being able to start matchmaking (I touched the port forwarding settngs for my XBox on my router). I'm now all beta'd up and ready for 4 months of beta testing.
See you online...

Thanks to Damien for setting some time aside to upgrade the NIMTUG site, CS 2007 looks really nice out of the box. If there are any budding graphic artists out there who would like to sort out a new logo image for use then please drop me a line (The tree is the default CS logo).
As some of you know, I use Live Writer to post entries to the NIMTUG and to other blogs. (I'm a bit disappointed that it is still in beta (come on MS get your figure out!!).
One of the pains of using Live Writer with the older versions of CS was that it didn't support the uploading of pictures directly from the tool. There was a few plugins that links to the CS Photo library, but this involved posting the images the library and then linking them to the post.
It looks like CS 2007 now fully supports image uploading though the blog API.

We had a busy April with Martha's Welcome to "WPF/E" and Jonathan's What's New in Visual C++ 2005 talk both of which were great and were aimed at completely different levels of technology competency.
May is shaping up to be as busy with 2 talks already scheduled:
This Thursday (3rd May) we've got Kevin Kline talking about Stored Procedure Best Practices. To get the most out of this talk you're going to have to have a bit of T-SQL coding skills under your belt.
On the 24th May we've got Dave Northey from Microsoft talking about Virtualisation Strategy using the Microsoft stack.
As an experiment, I've published the whole NIMTUG calendar up on the Office site. If you have Outlook 2007 you can subscribe to the calendar by linking to here.
See you Thrusday.
P.S. Good luck to all the runners (especially Jane) that are taking part in the Belfast Marathon on Monday.
