Microsoft futurists brainstorm what consumers will want | |

When it comes to carrying on a conversation with a kitchen countertop, timing is everything. Do it in 1992, you just might be drunk. Do it in 2012, you just might be an average high-tech-age homeowner. Do it sometime in between, you just might be a visionary. Jonathan Cluts did it last week. Leading a home-of-the-future tour, Microsoft Corp.'s director of consumer prototyping and strategy placed a food processor and a bag of flour on a kitchen counter. "Would you like some assistance?" asked a disembodied voice with a heavy computer accent. "Yes," Cluts replied. With that, white text appeared on the dark countertop. Projected from the ceiling, the text listed options. Picking one, Cluts commanded: "Recipes." The text changed. More options. Various recipes. From olive bread to sugar cookies, each recipe used flour and a food processor - the two items sitting on the counter. The counter knew. | ||

Alas, the BSOD in WinME is almost always caused by poorly written drivers and or poorly written software.
Not much Microsoft can do with the 9x kernel... hence the reason they've abandoned it. |
