Microsoft and Apple are the same company they just say it is to promote competition.

Something that will most likely be an option that can turned off. Altough, how is it any more intrucive than having your fingers blocking the screen using a regular touch screen? At least the image of your fingers would be semi-translucent. Making it easier to see what is being pressed.

So it can be held. Not everywhere people goes will have a large flat surface to place their laptop on.

It uses the regular qwerty layout. It has only just been rotated to be easier to use. Rather than putting it down to type or using a portable keyboard attachment. The user can keep it held in their hands while typing. All the fingers would be used to touch the same keys that would be touched on a regular keyboard. What you seen on the video is a prototype.

Play the video between 0:53 and 0:54. The narrator says, "the lucid touch prototype".

For now, a less sophisticated way to "see" keys on the back of a device is to put decals on the front which show the character location. That's how people learn to use an AlphaGrip, a handheld keyboard and mouse that looks like a game controller, which has 12 keys on the back (including 8 rocker keys) and 18 keys plus a trackball on the front, which enable comfortable, hi-speed typing at 50+ wpm and 10-finger-control gaming, while standing, reclining, lying down, or sitting anyhere.
