Microsoft appears to be continuing its bumbling nature, although now it has stumbled onto something that could be good for the company’s stock price.

A close examination of the floor plan at a demo event occurring in the near future has revealed that Microsoft will be showing off a spherical version of the Surface Computer, a device that had only existed in legend and rumour up until the present.  Such an unwitting screw up is not out of Microsoft’s league as far as blunders go, although this would seem to be far more of a leak than anything else.

The spherical Surface will show that Microsoft is light years ahead of the competition when it comes to Multitouch technology since it will become the first company to showcase Multitouch technology as it applies to a non-flat surface.  Flat surfaces were the only ones thought to be Multitouch capable until Microsoft’s unwitting announcement and for that reason many eyes will turn towards the demo event to see exactly what it is this curved surface Multitouch technology can do.

One reason for interest in the spherical Surface is that many home users of electronic devices are looking forward to being able to use curved Multitouch surfaces for convenience purposes.  The $5000 Microsoft Surface Computer is not a device that is intended for the average home user, but a mass produced reduced price version of a spherical Surface might be and that perhaps more than anything else is what is driving the surprisingly large amount of interest in the upcoming demo.
