    how can you say it wont speed up your work flow when you havent used it?

    - I haven't used, but none of the apps listed are very involved anyhow. I am just not seeing this product, with the listed apps, as much of an attraction to a consumer. Don't get me wrong. It's cool. I'd love to mess with it. I just think the price will be too high for the benefit to the average consumer.

    if you have a device that you can just put on a table, and it just downloads everything for you to see

    - I must admit, Microsoft has always been a master of easy simple UI. Lets just say I don't really trust this product in their hands. Somehow, they will screw it up.

    also, in an example of sharing files to one another.. would be faster if you put two devices on a table and just simply drag to it?

    - see comment above

    the example they have shown is more to do with lifestyle. its coming closer to ubiquitous computing.

    - I would be interested to see how this would be helpful in a general OS interface, or with professional programs. All I am saying is, for a consumer, I don't see a tremendous benefit to this product. Big deal, you can sort photos, draw and use a map. I just don't think this will be worth the price tag in the end.
