Surface About to Get A Little Soft Around the Edges?

 Mary Jo Foley is reporting about a prototype spherical Surface being demoed around Microsoft recently. If true, it would line up with Steve Balmers recent comments about taking the Surface to a more consumer friendly market.

I’m not totally sure how a round Surface would play out, but it certainly sounds fascinating.

From Mary Jo Foley:

Microsoft hasn’t been talking as publicly about even more offbeat Surface form factors, such as a sphere. But sources say the company is showing a spherical Surface prototype around campus lately.
