[SCOUTED] Microsoft unveils smart watches, players

[J. van Baardwijk]

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (Reuters) -- Trying to move its software from desktops to people's hands and pockets, Microsoft on Wednesday unveiled plans for a portable media player and a radio-linked wristwatch.

So, what will come after the Microsoft Wristwatch? Microsoft buys the United Kingdom and replaces Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) with Microsoft Mean Time (MMT)? <GRIN>

Or how about a whole new calendar? The very first day of the new calendar will be what used to be called October 28, 1955 (Bill Gates' date of birth). The days of the week will be renamed to the various M$ OS versions (today is "NT4-day", tomorrow is "XP-day"), and the start of a new month will be determined by the release date of a new XBox game. <GRIN>

And when you phone your boss to tell him you are ill and won't be able to go to work, you are "taking a Linux day". :-)
