Coming from an organization that competes directly against the likes of Cisco and Microsoft collaboration suites, the Spark Board is very appealing to me in terms of functionality and capabilities and my understanding is the price point is far more reasonable than the Microsoft Hub solution.
Our org adopted Slack pretty early on, so Spark has some room to improve in terms of UI, but the idea of your notes and communication stream existing into perpetuity without a break in continuity is going to be pretty valuable in the enterprise for business users, IMO.

In addition to your statement, I also dislike how companies will manufacture demand out of thin air. The whole Spark Board event was cringe worthy in my opinion; with their over-the-top showmanship, and pretend first to market smugness.

The fact is touch is quickly becoming a commodity. It is all about the application that you put on top of it. I am not sure on the Surface Hub and Spark Board, but I doubt the OEM is actually manufacturing the touch panel itself. We do know that the Spark board is leveraging a computer from Nvidia providing the compute and GPU capabilities.
