Microsoft's fall lineup for Consumers
MS Press | at | by Mike
For those who thought the biggest consumer trends this fall would be the latest 10-in-one kitchen gadget or a new line of flashy athletic shoes, Microsoft and its partners have some other options:
- Online video games that can be played on the biggest-of-big-screen TVs -- instead of a PC -- while lounging in the living-room comfy chair
- An Internet Service Provider refined to deliver an increasingly customized, youthful Web experience
- A media player for your PC that offers better sound and more tools for creating, delivering and playing music, video and other media
- Technology that transforms the PC into a home-entertainment center
- A handheld device that lets you order pizza by phone and invite friends over with an e-mail for dinner
