Microsoft plans to sit inside your refrigerator | |

Microsoft, again trying to branch out from personal-computer programs, finally is making some progress in the embedded software that runs everything from factory robots to "smart" refrigerators. At a conference in Las Vegas Tuesday, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) Chief Executive Steve Ballmer will announce an alliance with several semiconductor makers that will allow them to develop customized chips for devices running embedded versions of Microsoft's operating systems. Microsoft plans to allow chip makers, including Intel Corp., MIPS Technologies Inc. and ARM Holdings PLC, to modify the "source code," or software program, used to create its Windows CE operating system. Though Microsoft has allowed selected developers to see CE source code in the past, never before has the software company let them alter it, said a Microsoft spokesman. | ||

| I haven't thought about it until now, but I can see MS somewhere down the line tying MSN into Xbox somehow. They already will have the Zone in it! |

You are forgetting some important things. You will have to download all the security patches and updates for the fridge, defrag your fridge...upgrade your fridge |
