Microsoft to build RFID into Windows | |
|
||
| Time: 10:28 EST/15:28 GMT | News Source: Silicon | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||
|
Announces partnership with Alien Technology... Microsoft is planning to make RFID applications and tag-readers compatible with Windows. According to Scott Woodgate, group product manager of business processes for Microsoft, the company is trying to integrate RFID programs with the operating system and make the majority of devices work with plug-and-play functionality. Woodgate told silicon.com: "RFID has not been widely adopted because of the cost of devices and implementation of management. One of the things we're doing is working on standards-based and non-standards-based RFID readers. There's a whole host of them out there and they'll work on Windows as plug-and-play devices." | ||

I can see it now...
"Please swipe your RFID License Key on the screen to activate or use this copy of Windows. Your card should be located in the retail box that came with your copy of Windows". or... "I'm sorry, but your rental period for Windows has expired. Please call Microsoft at xxx-xxx-xxxx to re-activate your RFID key for this workstation". TL |
