    Painting Feature with Creation of Original Artwork

    TORONTO, Sept. 14 /CNW/ - The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel will host
live demonstrations of Microsoft Surface, a revolutionary new surface
computing product that was recently unveiled to major fanfare. For one day
only, Saturday, September 15, from 11AM to 4PM, guests and the public can
experience Microsoft Surface - a 30-inch display in a table-like form factor
that recognizes natural gestures, touch and physical objects, enabling
hands-on, interaction with digital content such as photos, music and maps.
    Microsoft Surface will roll out in Sheraton Hotels within the U.S. and
Canada starting late spring 2008, and will offer Sheraton guests an array of
capabilities to enhance their stay, which could include browsing and listening
to music, creating playlists, sending photos home, downloading books and even
ordering food and drinks.
