Seattle Occasions Reporter Brier Dudley has an intriguing follow-up to my blog publish yesterday around the forthcoming Microsoft kitchen customer.(And just for the file,
Genuine Office 2007, from what I can inform,
Office Professional 2010 Key, the kitchen client isn;t a unique version of Vista. It;s additional of the software program layer that will “extend” Windows. Think of it being a lot more like the Origami Experience pack for Ultra-Mobile PCs.)Dudley says Microsoft had a 50-person team working on a kitchen PC/services product that was code-named “Ohana,
Windows 7 Home Basic,” but that project had fizzled.Ah,
Office 2010 Download! So that;s what Ohana is/was. I wrote about Ohana back in December 2006 and called it some kind of Family Center project/product.I hear the kitchen client project is alive and well. Perhaps it was moved to a different group or team, or morphed from a new Windows SKU into an add-on software layer? The way I;m hearing about it,
Office Professional 2010, it definitely would fit in well with Microsoft;s overall “software+services” mandate.Anyone else know much more about the past or future of Ohana and/or Microsoft;s Kitchen consumer?
