New Computer Technology from Microsoft

Okay...Microsoft has come up with new computer technology..."Surface". Check this out at: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/.

Will this revolutionize the way we do real estate transactions? Imagine sitting at a table like this with your client. You have downloaded and prepared documents from Winforms Online. You and your client electronically sign them and then each of you simply put them in your phones with the stroke of a finger! Everyone has their own copy and you are on your way!

Do you think?

Anyway, the IRS will take my tax return with the electronic signature and either put money into my bank account or take it out. It is kind of cool and kind of scary at the same time.

Member Since '05	Doug Burke said: Pretty cool but I wonder how receptive people will be to it. It would have to be widely accepted in order for it to be lucrative enough to fly for Microsoft. June 11, 2007 7:07 PM

Member Since '03	Gail Griffin said: I think it is cool, too! With a tablet version, your signature should be secure. It is the same process as the electronic signatures we use when purchasing with a credit card. June 12, 2007 1:36 PM
