Khan,

It gets better. Here's more stuff on Microsoft's consumer strategy.

theregister.co.uk
"Among the helpful excerpts Microsoft has published already we have one from Craig Mundie, senior VP consumer strategy and weird thought thinker in chief.

Craig says: "Today, most clothing has an itty-bitty label with washing instructions, which most people never look at. If the labels were smart, they could tell the washing machine to regulate the water temperature as well as the amount of soap."

There you have it, Windows for Washing Baskets, a Register exclusive, we think. But more of this stuff, please Craig. Say all your clothes have labels that have some processing power on board, and presumably a Bluetooth capability to allow them to communicate with the washing machine. Surely they could communicate with each other as well? Distributed Windows in your clothing? Wear do you want to go today?"


Regards
JC.

>>It's a pity to see Microsoft stumbling so much over the post-PC era.<<

The myth of Microsoft's dominance seems more tarnished with each passing day...
