But the Apartment isn’t just another demo environment filled with visions of the future that may, or may not, come to fruition. Rather, it’s intended to offer a much more realistic example of a present-day home augmented with Microsoft devices that are available to buy right now.

The Microsoft Apartment isn't quite as ‘out there’ as some of the more wild and outlandish ‘connected home’ concepts that we’ve seen. It doesn't go as far as incorporating fancy digital climate controls or talking washing machines or intelligent fridges.

Instead, the showcase home demonstrates how technologies and products that are available today can make life at home that little bit more enjoyable, and perhaps even more productive - and, of course, it's no coincidence that everything is linked and integrated through your Microsoft account across your devices.

why in the f*** would you have two scans net to your TV scan? Seems like over kill. just seems f***ing dumb to me. have real world products laying around I'd use in the home that would make my life easer.
