Microsoft Unveils All-in-One Keyboard
In an effort to clean up room clutter, Microsoft this week announced a wireless keyboard that combines a remote control, keyboard, and mouse pointer all in one device, according to the company. The all-in-one keyboard allows users to send instant messages, watch movies, view images, and control a TV, among other functions, from one device. "What remotes did for TVs, Microsoft's three-in-one control center does for MCE [Media Center Edition] PCs. With this device you can now get rid of all the other remotes, reducing living room clutter," says Matt Barlow, director of marketing at Microsoft Hardware, in an e-mail interview.

If I was running media center edition, I would be very interested. I plan on making my own media center one of these days and having an all in one keyboard would be very cool. I don't know that there are enough people using media center edition for this to be big, but its something to look forward to I suppose. If MS would be willing to make a generic all in one keyboard, they would get more business and more sales of it I think. Two of my friends built their own media centers and I'm sure they would love this keyboard, but they don't use media center edition.
