Redmond has begun work on Microsoft Kitchen, the first of many to come in a suite of customized Windows platforms designed for specific areas around the house. The Windows “Kitchen Client” will complement your Windows Operating System while integrating with current and future Windows Live services.
Some of the features planned for Microsoft Kitchen include a family calendar, recipe center, a shared bulletin board and entertainment features. According to sources, “the Kitchen Client is expected to encompass both customized user interface and middleware that will allow developers to further customize the environment with their own products and services.”
My worry is what happens when you get the BSOD (blue screen of death) while you’re halfway through banging out a casserole? You can’t CTRL-ALT-DEL a quiche.
Unfortunately there’s no word on when this will hit shelves or how much it will set you back, but feel free to unleash any cooking-related Microsoft puns. Cue Stevio Ballmerali — my apologies, I had to at least try.

Pretty awesome! I always have to drag my laptop in the kitchen and precariously balance it on my fridge because I don’t have enough space. How much does this bad boy cost?
This is such a good idea. Its crazy how technology is coming such a long way!
