WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will tout recent developments with the company's remote-display technology (code-named Mira) at the CeBIT trade show today in Germany. The technology includes a new generation of Mira-enabled flat-panel display screens (expected to ship late this year) that the user can pick up and carry around a house or office; the user interacts with the PC using 802.11b-based wireless networking, Windows 2000 Server Terminal Services technology, and a stylus. This week, four major new partners, including LG Electronics and Philips Electronics, signed on with Microsoft to deliver Mira-based displays.
