I found this to be a much more captivating video. Gave out more information too. Not to mention that globe navigation was pretty damn cool.

Oh, and that was in February of '06. Nice job, stealing ideas, again Bill Gates.

My bad! I really wasnt being sarcastic . Actually, I was typing that with childlike glee. And even now, I am not being sarcastic, because maybe you think I am. But, really I just want to very thoroughly explain myself... and what I meant. But now, I think I am being just a little sarcastic in the present but this in no way implys that the very first thing written here was not a sarcastic comment, and that there for the original thing writtin was not sarcastic.

ediT: and just to proove it, I will review the video.:

It was really tight. Future upgrades for map systems and user interfaces. Multi user keosks in many places. A lot of room for creativity, such as a Stair rail that lightsup when people touch it (in a public area). But, that also scans finger prints and identifies traffic of people (you know, government jobs sponsers this type of work) but, watch the video to see what I mean when I say "lights up"

second video was great, and I'm not even slightly surprised that someone else came up with this way before micro$oft.

That would be so awesome. I seriously do think that it'd be much safer for places such as airports and what not to have things like hand rails take your finger prints so the government can track you. It'd be so much easier to track down criminals. Just put someone's fingerprint in a "wanted" database, and boom. Soon as it's picked up, his location is given away... That would be intense. Expensive... but very useful. :)
