MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 19, 2001 — On Monday, Nov. 26, Microsoft Corp.’s Silicon Valley Speaker Series will focus on the company’s newly formed eHome Division and its goal of extending the PC’s capabilities to deliver whole-home entertainment, communication and information experiences. Mike Toutonghi, vice president of the Microsoft eHome Division and distinguished engineer, will discuss the technologies Microsoft is developing that will make these experiences fun, affordable and easy to use for everyday consumers.
