Windows Vista Ultimate and Surface computing are both at the heart of Microsoft's Innoventions Dream Home introduced at Disneyland in Anaheim. The attraction featured in Tomorrowland delivers a complex recipe of Microsoft technologies including its latest versions of the Windows home server and client operating systems, but also Surface. The Innoventions Dream Home is a collaboration between the Redmond company and HP, Life|ware and home-builder Taylor Morrison.

"We're constantly visualizing how tomorrow's software will transform how we'll work, play and communicate. By partnering with Disneyland, we can show people how technology can enrich our lives today, and offer a glimpse of the technologies that will revolutionize homes in the future," revealed Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer at Microsoft.

Innoventions Dream Home will offer users a chance to see how Microsoft Surface, Windows Home Server, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Media Center, Xbox 360, Zune, Windows Mobile, Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007, Windows Live, and Microsoft Encarta Premium 2008 integrate into a single household in order to deliver a glimpse into the future.

All Microsoft technologies are available today; however, some of them, such as Microsoft Surface have yet to make their way into the mainstream consumer market. Additionally, the Redmond company has also made available to the public products based on projects from the Microsoft prototyping lab, albeit just for viewing.

"Magic Mirror: A mirror projects different clothes, accessories and hairstyles onto each family member's image when they stand before it. The clothes not only morph to the contours of the body, but also sway as the person in front of the mirror moves. Kitchen of Your Dreams: The kitchen recognizes ingredients as a family member sets them on the counter, suggesting recipes for those items and providing instructions once a recipe is selected. Story Time: Visit the child's room to be transported to Neverland. Read 'Peter Pan' aloud to absorb a full multimedia experience, as cues in the story set off lights, sounds, colors and video," Microsoft said.
