I thought it was common knowledge that Windows didn't invent it themselves. I just presumed that since they have the money they've bought the thing for themselves from a smaller company.

Anywhos, it's still cool.

I saw that a long time ago too. If you had bothered to read more about it you'll have realised that it works in a totally different way - FTIR - and not "five cameras that can sense nearby objects mounted beneath the screen". In fact they actually criticize the way Microsoft approached this problem and so irrespective of whether Microsoft did indeed make advances in this field, they certainly did not copy what you posted.

You're clearly not interested in fact and that is why you're unaware of the fact that Jeff Han founded Perceptive Pixel just last year and according to the first link some "very exciting updates" are coming soon.

As for the table itself.. it doesn't have many practical applications in the current computing world but who knows what the future may hold for graphical and human interface design.
