Microsoft's preparing a big announcement for today, conference starts at 6:30 PM EDT

[jordguitar]

they are focusing on hardware

watch as they go dumb and move to software

[Hoob]

"We believe that any intersection between human and machine can be made better when hardware and software are considered together."

This is definitely mind control.

The hardware is actually the human brain.

I'm calling it.

[VistaPOWA]

"Our most successful hardware has been the Xbox. Developers are pushing it to do more."

pffft. The Xbox is keeping the market back, I mean, isn't this common sense?

[MightyMax]

No one wants windows 8

No one wants Kinect

[jordguitar]

"We wanted to give Windows 8 its own companion hardware innovation."

[Hoob]

"Much like Windows 1 needed the mouse, we wanted to give Windows 8 it's own hardware."
