i wonder when they will start making monitors, printers, ect...
what about desktops, laptops, netbooks, ect...

basically they dont have to do much, they could just rebrand the stuff that if already out there or they could pay for some asian company to create the stuff for them and they slap their label... isn't that what so many others are already doing, why leave money on the table, microsot could eat their lunches and improve their stock price while at it. what out dell, hp, canon, ect...

what about microsoft camera, god with the cash microsot has they could make it all. how evil!

oh forgot microsoft toilet paper and tampons. what about microsot caskets... ouch ;-)

Microsoft already makes caskets. Perfect size for an Xbox.

They already have the buggy software portion covered.

Now keep in mind, the Microsoft Notebook Cooler will come in 18 versions. The 3 main versions will be Home Cooler Basic, Home Cooler Premium, and Ultimate Edition Cooler. Basic only cools the notebook up to 3 degrees, premium will cool it a little better, and ultimate will keep it borderline frozen but will cost about $400.

The prices are high because with each Microsoft Notebook Cooler you purchase you get a copy of Windows Vista which you can upgrade to Windows 7 when it becomes available for an additional $50-$200 depending on the version of the cooler you purcahse today. :->

oh did i forget to mention, microsoft will be shortly offering microsoft water and microsoft air. yes that is right. microsoft water will come in 18 different flavors. all are triple carbon filtered from the original nyc source.

That mouse look hot! But you have to be a total nerd to use it {:-]

OMG LMAO!!!!

When I saw the title I was thinking 20 different versions of the same beer cooler. Only this cooler will bare the M$ logo and play movies while your on vacation in the empty cubical nobody knows about.

Wouldn't that first sentence be better if it read, "Often Microsoft’s best known for its software, but often times its hardware products are just as often found as part of users’ systems, often enough."

What brand of computers does Microsoft use in their offices? Are they in house built? or Dells, HP, Toshiba?

It's oftenularly, get it right, haha.

'endluser' HAHA!!! That was phenominal.

the mouse looks cool, i've never thought of that.

When I was there in 2004, they used HPs. Doesn't mean they still are, seems that companies like to switch it up.

That said, they need portable notebook coolers (USB-powered fan is a start). When my notebook is stationary on a desk, I just angle a small desk-fan at it, keep the air underneath circulating, saved me $15. The folding mice are cool, my fiance stuck with Logitech when she needed a blue mouse to match her Acer Aspire, but Logitech always feels heavy to me.

Well, on very hot laptops, the cooler is a plus. I don't need it on my TX2500Z, because I have the tilted 8 cell battery. However, you can't use it on your lap that way, so a proper cooler protects your lap and makes it cooler and more comforatable.
