Microsoft has used its Professional Developers Conference to open to the public its Surface SDK. Previously limited to MSDN subscribers and partners of the giant from Seattle, so it allows anyone to create their own application for touch-touch the table surface, but simply Windows 7. Let us recall that surface is just the technology name some "gadget", but all touch applications found in Microsoft products.

Logic would therefore allow the new SDK to develop programs for new PC running the multi-touch Windows 7. Logic, except that the SDK just released by Microsoft is not compatible with its new OS, only Windows Vista is supported for the moment ... Of course the software giant says it will soon propose an updated version, compatible with Windows 7. Still, this launch is somewhat unusual.
