If you want to see interesting, then you need to stop by one of the Sheraton Hotels and get a look at the Microsoft Surface Computer in action.  While many people were predicting that the Surface appearing in the real world so to speak was something that would not really pan out.  People would find the table interesting, but within a few weeks it would be business as usual.

Well, there is a very good reason why that will likely not happen and it is one reason that nobody really saw coming.

Working together, Sheraton and Microsoft were able to create an application to be used on the Surface computers that inhabit the lobbies of the various Sheraton hotels.  The application is one that turns the Surface Computer into what can essentially be thought of as a giant jukebox.  Instead of choppy sound and crappy interfaces however, you will have the ultra-modern hardware and software design of the Surface as your jukebox guide.  The result is a more convenient, better quality jukebox than has ever been created before.

Why is this good?  It is good because one of the stated goals of this partnership was to allow people to play their favourite songs in the hotel lobbies of the Sheratons that had the Surface Computers installed.  With the jukebox program this not only becomes possible, but easy on a very large scale.  One doesn’t have to think long to realize that this could easily be the most popular use for a Surface Computer in a hotel lobby.
