Have you ever seen any of the demo videos of what it can do? It's a LOT more than a updated kiosk, that's just all it's setup for in the AT&T store. I'm really surprised that anyone in to tech wouldn't think that is awesome. It's the first test, give them a chance.

Put a couple of hundred of these and other stores may start to bite, yes for MS there would be a large initial cost but surely it is worth it to give this tech a chance?
