A quote by someone I know who got a Wacom Bamboo tablet to use with Photoshop...
Anyways, I found some interesting stuff from Microsoft when I was trying to find the Windows Phone TellMe notification sounds.

This one is REAL interesting as this centers around natural speech input for command and search. Also interesting is the metro UI design of Windows Phone and the tablet that was used... This one was pretty neat because at a recent event from Microsoft centered around natural speech command and input, particularly in Excel where you could tell it to add certain things from certain columns and kind of extrapolate and manipulate table data, ALL by natural voice input. They also showed improvements with speech search with Bing and the network/server side improvements.

This video I found fascinating, a Microsoft video depicting 2019's technology (more like 2029 AT LEAST) and more importantly, user interface design. Notice how there is NO window chrome, all centered around the content. I believe the eye candy shouldn't be the little window wrapping on a Desktop, it should be the ACTUAL content itself within that window. I really liked the UI design, and how it revolves around the NUI, or Natural User Interface of speech, touch, and motion gesturing. REALLY FREAKING NEAT. And guess what recent development(s) from Microsoft are pushing that centric design? Windows 8. Xbox with Kinect. Windows Phone. Office 2013. The best part I loved about this was in the office scenario where you can literally drag content from one seemingly different PC with touch (gesture I think as well) and drag it down to what looked it to be the tablet. So cool! NFC technology perhaps?
This is the future!
