February 24, 2008 1:43 PMMicrosoft has failed thus far to certify the devices widely so as a result you only get it in just 10 countries at this stage (US, CA, UK, FR, DE, IT, NL, ES, JP, AU) ... so for anyone outside of these countries, such as Hong Kong, looking to get one there's no published roadmap nor timeline even. This will also mean that companies with international presence that like to use the RoundTable devices can forget about using RoundTable for all subsidiary locations, unless they order them through any of the above 10 countries and then ship them to other countries not on the list. But that likely violates the license agreement (since they are not certified) and you won't have warranty support in other countries.

Impressive OCS launch and overall largely positive reviews all around. One of the critical success factors however for how well Microsoft will be able to establish OCS globally will be the availability of OCS devices, in particular the RoundTable.

So, Microsoft, when will this be made available in other countries?
