It's more glitz than substance, but it takes polls, offers compubd savings and loan payment calculators, and has content to support guided sales discussions. The people in the branch said they have much broader plas for it as it is deployed elsewhere.

I hear lots of people in the financial industry talking about it, but I struggle to see any practical applications. The Surface may find some rather exotic uses sometime down the road, but it isn't likely to be much more than "retail glitz and glitter." What problem does it solve? What NEED is there for it today? If you've got to scramble to find a use for a tool, then maybe you don't really need the tool. I don’t see anything but hype for the MS Surface in banking.
