Microsoft elaborated on its fall and winter hardware lineup on Thursday, announcing three new
wireless keyboard and mouse packages, along with three new wireless mice. The first products
would begin shipping this month, with launch dates throughout the winter through February 2007.
"We are pushing the envelope on hardware design to meet the new ways consumers are using
their PCs at home and in the office," Microsoft hardware designer Dan O'Neil said. "Keyboards and
mice are no longer just about typing and clicking - they are an extension of the individual's
personality."
The idea, says O'Neil, was to create computer peripherals using design and visual cues from
Microsoft's next generation operating system, Windows Vista.
