Microsoft’s wireless keyboard for Vista

by Vincent on July 9th, 2006

Microsoft’s is developing a slim wireless keyboard that should make it easier for users to access Windows Live services and features in Vista… The name of the keyboard could be the “Ultimate Keyboard” and will be announced later this year as part of a desktop package. This news comes from a source familiar with Microsoft’s plans and was found on pcworld.idg.com.au:

A Windows Live Call button will provide one-touch access to a list of Windows Live Messenger buddies online to initiate a videoconference or chat session. Pressing the button will automatically log a user into Windows Live Messenger and open a list of contacts currently online.

A Gadgets button will provide similar access to Gadgets in Windows Vista, mini-applications that appear on the computer screen to display things such as news, sports and weather information.

The ergonomic keyboard includes a round button at the bottom — below the space bar — that initiates the Start menu of Vista or Windows XP, the source said. It supersedes the Start menu buttons traditionally found next to Alt buttons on a keyboard.
