This Microsoft “Vision” video keeps popping up on my radar. It demonstrates great imagination, then executes it beautifully.
The irony I can’t ignore is that it was produced by a company that traditionally does neither. One time in 1985, Microsoft revolutionized the way we use computers by releasing Windows. Since then, its products have revolutionized productivity much in the way a whisk revolutionizes eggs. There’s probably a better way and this method kind of hurts my elbow, but we already bought 200,000 whisks, so keep at it. Tilt the bowl a bit. There you go.
Indeed, this is an exciting time for people and computers getting along*. But I’d hardly consider Microsoft to be a major player. True, they’ve been developing a coffee-table sized iPad for a few years now, but I don’t envision letting my kids do school projects on a piece of furniture worth more than my car.
Anyway. Cool video.
*If you were unaware of this, try Evernote, Dropbox, Google Docs, or one of those talky things from the garage guy in California.
