microsoft to comeout with new desktop


Recommended Posts

rip off of what??? there media centre keyboard???. as this looks like a updated version of that(which i have and its very good). This looks like a great keybaord but i would have to try it first and see how it feels etc. and also how much will it be etc???.

This would be microsoft's second Entertament keyboard. but the first to be used for any pc. not just a media center.

looks prety good in my opinion. might be pricy though, due to the bluetooth, backlit and the finish on the keyboard.

how about the battery life?

Looks pretty good. The song got annoying though

:p I bobbed my head to it

wow another rip-off.yea it has a sleek design but thats about it.many keyboards are wire-less and are backlit.and that leaving the room crap is prolly fake.it'll just go2 sleep or something after a long-period of time of inactivity.

Dear Mr. Grinch,

You might slam this keyboard now but when it comes out and you'll see everyone around you buy it you'll get it to and by that time everyone will forget how you said it's a rip-off and you tell everyone.

"Hey look what I got. This is the best keyboard out there and in my opinion, EVERYONE should get it!"

Most likely, in order to compete with Logitech's Bluethoot Keyboard sets, its price range will be around US$189 - $299.00... I don't doubt it...

But I'm loving it already... :cry:

Are these prices that are coming from a source, or just a guess?

oh man that is such a rip off, i mean look at the way the keys are arranged in the QWERTY layout, why can't M$ ever do anything original geez.

seriously though, nice looking keyboard :)

Eh where's it's numpad?

And i think the buttons on the left are a bad idea, i have a mx 1000 mouse, and hoekey, so i have a **** load of hotkeys on my mouse. So instead of the buttons on the left they should just have Spare1a, Spare1b, Spare2a, Spare2b, like buttons the size of the letter keys, on the left of tab, shift, caps, so then i can configure them myself, more buttons in a smaller space the better.

Mouse is Bluetooth, but I'm not sure about the Keyboard. I would definately buy it if both were Bluetooth and worked with Mac OS X (To complement a Macbook Pro).

They didn't show much of it in the flash so I took some screen shots:

Nice looking keyboard. But backlight isn't anything new. Logitech had it before, and the pro line of Mac laptops had that for quite a while, too.

But strictly desktop-talking, there's no Mac equivalent, and the Logitech keyboard has only partial backlight. Must give MS credit for that.

rip off of what exactly? so microsoft is copying the wireless keyboard and backlit, because someone else has already done it? then the entire world is a rip off.. skyscrapers are a rip off, it's already been done. AMD is a rip off of Intel, because it's a processor. Ever heard of healthy compitition?

Excellent grammar too (Y), mine not might be perfect, but it's still alot.better.then.talking.like.dis

Dear Mr. Grinch,

he will too. Just like vista. He's either a microsoft-hater, a pirater of the software and most likely using Windows right now, or he's using a Mac, but i highly doubt it.

The price seems a little high for a guess, but Microsoft has done stranger things.

This is from a guy who dominates spelling :rolleyes:

I think its common sense that if they are sold together both will be Bluetooth.

Too bad noone has a release date for this.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
