This demo shows how Surface could be used in a restaurant or bar environment.

The glass has a domino tag on the bottom which sends information about what the drink is and potentially how and where it's made. It could even be used to order another tipple.

Microsoft will roll out this Surface concierge app in the US at the end of this year or early 2008 with Starwood Hotels and Resorts and Harrah's Entertainment, which owns Caesar's Palace casino in Las Vegas.
