Microsoft Displays Its Vision of the Future

Microsoft has released a video showcasing its vision of how Windows computers will integrate seamlessly with our lives.

The video shows a day in the life of a modern home, where the inhabitants can enjoy their media, secure the house and check traffic reports before heading off to work. Windows Mobile devices, essentially hybrid computers and mobile phones, play a large part in this vision.

Am not really a big fan of Microsoft but gotta admit....That...looked pretty cool actually. Wonder how early we will start seeing something like that.

[Stryfeno1]

Movies like The Terminator were right...Machines and Computers will take over the world one day.

[mighty_douche]

all running on MS software...

...$$$....

[Silellak]

Look at this way -

If Microsoft created SkyNet, it would probably have a blue screen of death or three red lights before it could wipe out humanity as we know it anyway.

"An error has occured in destroylifeasyouknowit.dll. Please report this error to Microsoft."

[mighty_douche]

I would kill to own that 40" tablet that dude using at @1.20 in.

[The Lazy One]

I was going to say the exact same thing...

[v1c1ous]

memorization and reliance on one's own abilities

[scotthea311]

Lazy.

[OJ_juice]

if my hightech expensive laptop got crushed like that i would beat the crap of that guy who drove the truck.

[iMad]

Microsoft have a great vision.
This is so complex to create.

So there is like we are before revolutionizing our livestyle. Like before when electricity was invented in late 19th.

[GutZ31]

Predicted over 40 years ago, now what do we have to show for it.

[KaaL]

I hope to live to see all these one day (currently 26). The thing I want to see the most would have to be a flying car going over my house, those were my child hood dreams ever since I saw Back to the Future.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sh theres another one ..you want it a flying car , i wanted a flying robot tiger like voltron

[Salvadore]

Now that was very impressive and I cannot wait to experience some of awesome tech.

[bob2083]

thats really cool to see, hate to see what hackers will do when they can break into your house though :P

[iAmPS3]

Someone got fired today. LOL

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 2]

...Bill Gate$ says its...its...its...PS3!!! ;-D

[thekingofMA]

wth? how did you get your bubbles back? didnt you have like 2 yesterday?

but your joke wasnt funny...sorry.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

I hope we don't end up like The Matrix, and become human batteries for the machines.

[Harry190]

go all wrong again.

[GETPONED]

Why, because you're a sony fanboy?

[Pain]

Another wish the world would care what we want them to belive...

Just like M$ attempt to0 monopolize again.

go back to making crappy Software for script kiddys to play with and leave the big boy stuff to SONY.

oh and @ Banana sucker New account already eh? lmao sad lil bot.

Careful or you'll create a time duplicate and we all know that always ends badly.

[Still_Breathing]

Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. It's not because the technology is not there; It's because of copyright laws. No system software will integrate with others seamlessly unless it's done by the same company.

[The Lazy One]

Same company = M$

If you watched any of their CES keynotes for the past 3 years you can see how their designing a lot of the software being used in that video, and some of it is already available in limited features.

They already have software for PDAs/Cell Phones/Laptops/Tablets/Cars/TV s/Consoles and most of those already have a way of communicating at least a little with each other.

[ScottEFresh]

"he logs on securely to retrieve all the information in his profile"

Can you say identity thief wet dream?

[The Lazy One]

Is the data backup supposed to be on some sort of microsoft run server or are they saying people will have servers at home for data backup, then have all their devices communicate with that server/PC?

[rosebowl23]

I love this!

[Bolts]

...how many microtransactions is that guy paying to access his data in all those different devices?

[stennexxx]

Imagine M$ controlling your house. Never. We already suffer using Windows. I would be a bit more relaxed if it was Unix/Linux. But M$ no way. Plus this not the first time they have done videos like this about home and computer integration and look not much has come f it. Plus we in America seem to not want to build advance technological structures like the rest of the world fast enough without charging for every bite being streamed.

[Percy]

Well hopefully they test this out first. If vista is any indication of microsofts future we may all be on the street trying to update in order to open our house. I just can't believe they make claims like it will work seemlessly on all devices when they cant even get drivers for a bunch of hardware to work in vista.
