It _is_ Microsoft! It's their new "Mira" product. The monitor actually has
its own OS built-in--WinCE, of course. :-) It's more like a virtual network
client, with the client running under CE, and the base running under XP. I
guess that Viewsonic are the first to announce a product? Or have I missed
other announcements?
