Microsoft’s Surface computing looks and sounds cool — no question. But, can you imagine how many germs and viruses this thing will spread? This thing could start a whole new category of illness if we’re not careful. The “Surface Flu” would be fitting.

I’m pretty sure that a bottle of anti-bacterial wash will be a requirement to use these things. Future versions should sport a built-in soap dispenser.
