Over the years, the world’s biggest PC software maker has made forays into the PC hardware realm with varied success. Microsoft mice, keyboards and game joysticks are well-known but for all the coolness of a new optical Microsoft Intellimouse, there is still the specter of a Microsoft USB stereo speaker set. Sometimes, the best of ideas aren’t always implemented all that well no matter who’s doing the implementing. Microsoft hopes their new 802.11b-based wireless networking products will follow the Intellimouse down the path of success rather than take the USB speaker road.
