Over 130 New Windows Devices Showcased at Computex

Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer was recently touting the upcoming release of next-generation Windows devices, and customers now have a chance to see the products he was talking about.

Taiwan is the center of the hardware and device universe, these days more so than any time this year because of Computex, a huge technology event in Taipei.

The software giant has a strong presence at the ninth edition of Computex, but the company’s booth is not exactly focused on its own technologies as is on those of its partners.

The software giant opted to highlight over 130 new Windows devices at Computex, spanning from PCs to next generation form factors.

No less than 50 of the company’s hardware partners have produced the computers, phones, servers, TVs, handheld specialty devices and other form factors that Microsoft is showcasing at Computex.

A strong focus was placed on devices with NUI capabilities. Natural user interfaces are the future, and in this regard, Windows is not exactly falling behind.

“Investments in new technologies that simplify experiences and improve the way we interact with devices remain a Microsoft priority,” revealed Steven Guggenheimer, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s OEM Division, addressing COMPUTEX attendees.

“Natural user interface (NUI) technologies and rich cloud services built into the Windows platforms help deliver immersive experiences to customers, and enable countless new business opportunities for our device partners.”

Microsoft’s Nick Parker will provide you with “a guided tour of Microsoft’s COMPUTEX booth, pointing to some of the latest Windows Phones, Windows PCs and more,” the company notes.

It’s important to note that Microsoft has highlighted time and again, starting with Ballmer at CES 2011, a new focus to bring its platform to as many devices as possible under the mantra “Windows Everywhere.”
