It looks like Microsoft has extra kitchen-related assignments inside the functions than the Windows-based Kitchen Customer.The BBC is reporting on efforts coming out of Microsoft Investigation in Cambridge, UK,
Windows 7 Discount, to build kitchen-centric computing equipment and technologies. (Thanks to ActiveWin.com for the BBC hyperlink.)I could be incorrect, but I don;t think the Windows Kitchen Client and the kitchen-client research job(s) are one plus the exact same. The Kitchen Client I heard about sounds like it;s possibly a minimum of in the incubation stage, if not the actual product development one.Being a refresher, right here;s what I;ve heard in regards to the Kitchen Client:“The ‘Kitchen Consumer; software will extend the Windows operating system and integrate with current and future Windows Live services, according to sources close towards the company. It seems, from what I can tell,
Windows 7 X64, much more like an add-on layer than a whole new version of Windows. Among the features Microsoft is planning to make part of its forthcoming kitchen computing environment are a family calendar, recipe center, entertainment features and a shared bulletin board,
Microsoft Office Professional Plus, sources added.”And,
Windows 7 Starter Key, by the way, the Windows Kitchen Customer is not the Windows Live service formerly in development codenamed “Ohana.” I heard back from a few folks within the know who said the two were not synonymous. Right here;s a description of Ohana from a reader:“Ohana was/is totally a Family product (not really connected to anything other than Live now). It was supposed to be a product that was an integrated experience to connect the family and provide vendors (think Home Depot) ways to communicate with the customer [via Ads]. It would have a calendar (assume far more like iCal), lists, notes (believe stickies) etc, that would work like a family.”Any requests/feedback for the folks building Microsoft;s kitchen-centric platforms? (If any team members are reading, I volunteer to become a beta tester,
Windows 7 64bit!)
