Microsoft Corp. today celebrated 10 years of changing the way people think about technology in the home by displaying new technologies that may shape the way people live, work and play in their homes. Microsoft has equipped its concept facility, called the Microsoft® Home, with new technologies and real-world scenarios that demonstrate how software might help people better manage their busy lives, stay in touch with friends and family, and enjoy more of each day. Launched in 1994, the Microsoft Home was one of the first facilities dedicated to exploring how people experience technology in their daily lives. The Microsoft Home simulates environments such as the kitchen, family room, entertainment room and bedroom, collecting a broad range of technologies, products and services in each space to examine how software can improve people's lives.
