Inside Microsoft's future kitchen | |

Computing giant Microsoft is centring its plans for future growth less on the office and more on getting consumer-friendly devices into every room in our homes - at least if the projects on display at the country's research centre in Cambridge are anything to go by.

Instead, the focus is on something that would not look out of place next to the fridge or the sofa. "Microsoft projects have traditionally been orientated towards the office and the personal computer; this is looking at the role that technology has in how families communicate and organise themselves," the Centre's managing director Frank Herbert told BBC World Service's Digital Planet programme. | ||
