Microsoft might be getting into the furniture business. The company is apparently contemplating the development of a consumer version of Microsoft Surface, the company’s advanced multi-touch table-top computer now available only to companies that want to use it for promotions in hotels, casinos and at cell phone stores. The MICROSOFT FURNITURE in question would be a kitchen table. Here’s how you’d use it, according to Microsoft:

“While eating breakfast, read newspaper headlines and e-mail, get updated on the daily commute, or use your fingers to expand your calendar and get details on the day’s events.” And you can use it to “help your children with their homework or oversee their play activities while getting dinner ready.”

The question is, would you buy one? (Let me know in the comments area.)
