I posted my guess as to what wonder Scoble was referring to in the comments on his blog, and it appears to have been removed.

It could just be some form of automated comment moderation process, and it'll return later, or it could be that I was right on the mark.

For the record, my primary guess is that it's a fancy file and/or web search interface that's all graphical and swooshy and zoomy.

You know, the type of silly "Minority Report" type thing that MS might think would work well on "Surface".

This guess is based on the background of one of the developers, and the offhand mention in the comments of "googlers" reactions to seeing it work.

I also speculated that it might be a sort of Google Earth type deal, but possibly for space, but the blog alludes to something more "day-to-day" practical by mentioning Netscape and Photoshop.

If Micro$oft were to release their own flavour sauce, would it be the kind that only appeals to certain tastes?

Amstrad Emailers still remind me of Chinese takeaways...
