Smart, connected Service oriented

Here are three videos about embedded, from the MS point of view. The interesting one is the retro view, from 2007.

1. Microsoft 2019 (Published 2009) General MS video- notice not a desktop or server to be seen. 100% embedded, much surface computing technology. MS has a team working on every single thing you see here. Surface is multi-touch, multi-user, multi-media input and output. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiqgmAYrd3c&feature=PlayList&p=8C7EA2FCDDE88894&index=0&playnext=1

2. Microsoft 2010 (published 2007) This is the really interesting one. In 2007 MS were showing exactly the 2010 product rollout. Everything you see here is Windows 7 or Windows Mobile 6.5. Point is, Microsoft not only spins a vision, they MAKE it happen. Their vision statement is a product roadmap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiTb3-t4YJk&feature=PlayList&p=8C7EA2FCDDE88894&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1

3. Smart, Connected, Service Oriented Devices (now/Transition, published 2009) This is the ‘embedded’ extension of the current vision. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoG0yicRl10
