Future Concepts from Microsoft

There is one kind of videos that I really like, and that is the kind of videos where people or companies look into the future and tries to predict how the world would be like in the future. Almost all innovative companies do this, and Microsoft recently made a whole series of them.

I really like what I am seeing. The interoperability, the augmented reality, the intelligent designs, the epaper - just my kind of world.
