Microsoft's New E-Home Gets an 'A'
PressUSA | at | by Mike
Imagine that as a Christmas gift to yourself, you had purchased Microsoft's highly-touted e-Home, which contains SYS, Freestyle and Mira home automation systems that integrates all of your environmental (heating, air conditioning and lights), entertainment and PC needs.There is no way for you to realize just how integrated the system is until you put it into action. So, say that your family just returned from a two-week, mid-winter vacation in the sun-drenched Bahamas. On the way home from the airport, you reach into your coat pocket, remove your Personal Digital Assistant, commonly known as a PDA, and access the wireless Web. You prompt SYS to turn up the heat in your home and turn on the hall lights in preparation for your arrival.
