When Microsoft delivers a beta version of Longhorn during the first half of this year, it will include support for “auxiliary displays,” company officials said Wednesday at the VSLive conference.
Microsoft Corp. first talked about the auxiliary display concept at the Windows Hardware Engineering conference in 2004. And Intel Corp. showed a prototype of a device with an auxiliary display affixed to a laptop lid at its Intel Developer Forum conference last fall.
At the VSLive show, Sriram Viji, a program manager with Microsoft’s mobile platforms division, described Microsoft’s strategy and vision for auxiliary displays in more depth. He said to expect Microsoft to deliver a beta version of its auxiliary display development kit at the same time it delivers Longhorn Beta 1.
