Microsoft announced "Surface" a computing table with a multi-touch, multi-user interface, extremely similar to the iPhone. Microsoft are trying to find a new direction for computing and will install a demo in the US. Some units will be displayed in T-Mobile stores, Starwood hotels, and even Harrah’s Casino in Las Vegas.

The first Surface computers could cost up to $10,000 so don’t expect to pick one up for your living room just yet.

When will it come to the UK?

The World Wide Web Consortium W3C was established in 1994 to lead the Web to its full potential by developing standards and protocols that promote its evolution while assuring interoperability.

Validating web page compliance with these standards and protocols insures that all users–regardless of their culture, language, education, ability, material resources, access devices or physical limitations–have equal access to the resources of your website.

Some well known members are:

• BM
• Microsoft
• America Online
• Apple
• Adobe
• Macromedia
• Sun Microsystems

To see if your website is conform to the W3C you can use free online tools

• HTML. Are your web pages W3C standards compliant? Submit your web pages for HTML validation here:

http://validator.w3.org/

• CSS. If your website employs CSS (cascading style sheets), and it probably should, submit your style sheets for validation here:

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

• Links. Link validation is not an element of standards compliance, but it is certainly an element of quality assurance. Test here:

http://validator.w3.org/checklink/

If the W3C validators (see links above) find errors in your HTML or CSS, then it may be time to consider redesigning your website. If you find errors there, then it may be time to consider hiring a new web designer.

We have tried to come up with a clean layout, easy navigation, and a professional look.
The website is produced at the highest web standard- level AAA, and conform to the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) and designed to be highly searchable 100% accessible by search engine.
