Surface Gets Update

A service pack for Surface developers has been released. Service Pack 1 to allow for faster and easier development of innovative, natural experiences on the Microsoft Surface platform. The SDK supports development on any .NET framework and is optimized for WPF and XNA.

SP1 gives users more visual feedback about where they’ve touched and where they should have touched to select a specific item. The innovations are being shown at TechEd this week.
