Comments on: Microsoft’s coffee-table-shaped computer http://www.cybertheater.com/microsoft%e2%80%99s-coffee-table-shaped-computer/ A World of Home Theater Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:37:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: CISSP http://www.cybertheater.com/microsoft%e2%80%99s-coffee-table-shaped-computer/#comment-17595 CISSP Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:30:57 +0000 http://www.cybertheater.com/microsoft%e2%80%99s-coffee-table-shaped-computer/#comment-17595 I know that eventually this type of computer will be common-place for an increase in productivity and the ability to multi-task more easily. However, I think that what Microsoft is missing here is the overall knowledge of the computer users that are already out there. Now I'm not saying that we're all in newbie stage, but the majority of people who are using computers in their daily lives do the follow tasks: - Read/Write e-mail - Surf on the internet - Go into chat rooms - Instant Message - Play multi-player games As far as productivity (business-wise), I would say the percentage is hovering around 25-30% of all computer users max. Of course, when this does get out of limited release and is out on the actual marketplace, there will be people purchasing it (the 1% of US society for example aka the uber-rich), but until a time where it would be incorporated into home-use, this is more of a luxury rather than a replacement of the actual desktop/laptop. I give it a solid 10-12 years from now. I know that eventually this type of computer will be common-place for an increase in productivity and the ability to multi-task more easily.
