And with the new release, I guess we will see more applications built on XNA in the following years. XNA is doing great job.

While the concept is cool, this feels like a demo/Hello World app. Now only if they make the fish and the rest of the aquarium like the gorgeous aquarium screensaver they had licensed from SereneScreen!

I was first a Surface application and more well suited for the uses of that platform. That being said, the touch capabilities of Win 7 make the Surface Lagoon a fun and tech-novelty way to show off multi-touch abilities of the new OS. It's cool and fun to play with. It can also make your multi-touch PC in the living space feel more invited. I would love to have a tablet PC and just sit on the coffee table in tablet mode. Family passing by can see the fish and I can ivite them to touch...or i would just watch and play with it while i wait or sip some coffee. What I find the biggest part is that this was designed with XNA. :) ...It really is exciting to see XNA popup in a variety of places. I want to see the future of how XNA is opening doors and starting a nice cross platform development trend. Pip,

Cause I wanna interact with my screen saver while I am at my PC. I bet you guys got a bonus with this thing too. Now if this could be a wallpaper/logon screen then that would be something different. Still just as useless. But something else to do while waiting for something to download/process. How about you guys go about making visual customization of the OS something more to enjoy?
