Microsoft’s Digital House
1. I just find so many things in this house that I believe we will see comercially available at a reasonable price in the future. I realize many are not Microsoft fans but this house is about the future not Microsoft products.This is the Microsoft address. It doesn’t give much detailed information but does explain the basics of the house.http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/events/mshome/default.mspx
2. This link takes you to an article about the house and the digital kitchen. I think the idea of the house knowing what you have for food, and what you can make from it, is just great.At the end of this article you can also find other links explaining the technology in the microsoft house.http://www.microsoft.com/canada/home/styleandhome/2.3.27_thedigitalhomecookinginthehightechkitchen.aspx
