I’m a Device!

  • Article

You’ve probably seen the new “I’m a PC” adverts, either on TV or the internets (what do you think of the adverts?), there’s also downloadable Life without walls (wallpapers) available from the Windows Vista Team Blog – the tagline for the wallpapers is “Windows | Life without walls”.

But, I’m in the Windows Embedded team, and spend my time thinking about devices, and building software for devices (and playing the odd game of squash!), so I think my tagline should be "I'm a device!" - interestingly, if you really are a device, let's say a networked media player, then your view of the world is "other devices", devices that serve up media, or devices that consume media, from this viewpoint, the PC is just another device on the network.
