Sheraton to Install Microsoft Surface in Five US Hotels

microsoft-surface-sheraton.jpgLast week, Sheraton Hotels and Resorts ordered 13 Microsoft Surface PCs, for installation in five branches located in Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle.

The units, which feature 30-inch touch-sensitive displays will be placed in common areas. Sheraton hopes that the guests will find the table computing platforms very useful. But don’t take our word for it! Continue to see an official video of the unit in action! < --more-->

What an ideal situation, don’t you think? Let’s see where it can go wrong:

  • “Beat it kid! I’m trying to look through this map!”
  • “Stop touching that! It’s my turn to choose songs!”
  • “Mommy, why is that woman smiling at me?”

Also, imagine how hard it would be to keep table clean. To be fair though, the demo looks impressive; let’s hope Microsoft does have their multi-touch act together.
