Yea, it’s been awhile since we’ve been impressed with Microsoft… This is a pretty stunning vision of the future, but considering some of us are walking around with powerful touchscreen computer-phone music playing video cameras in our pockets, this doesn’t seem all that outrageous.
With construction close to commencing, the presentation centre for Ocean Club will be coming down soon. It’s a bittersweet moment for us, because we do love ourselves a good presentation centre.
