Microsoft is doing a better Apple impression than Apple

I for one am bemused to see both Apple and Microsoft's 2016 offerings - one with a non-touch screen but a seemingly ergonomic touch bar, and the other with a beautiful touch screen.

My money is on virtual/augmented reality as being the next frontier for development tools, where we will move away from flat screens into more intuitive three dimensional realms.

It is funny that similar approach like in the newest MacBook Pros was presented in 2007 by Art Lebedev (http://www.artlebedev.com/optimus/maximus/). It is keyboard, but the idea of using context-specific control surface is similar.
