Microsoft's First Desktop Designed for Mac

Microsoft today announced the availability of the Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac, its first Mac-specific desktop complete with a stylish wireless Comfort Curve Keyboard and a wireless High Definition laser mouse. With this new desktop set, the Microsoft Hardware division combines comfortable design with High Definition technology to deliver the ultimate in cutting-edge performance, luxury and style to any Mac user. The futuristic silver finish complements the Mac design to make a mark on any desktop while providing the freedom of wireless control.

The Microsoft® Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac features Microsoft’s first keyboard designed specifically for the Mac. The key layout is consistent with Mac-only keyboards. To truly meet Mac users’ needs, this is Microsoft’s only keyboard without the Windows® Start button. The Wireless Laser Desktop for Mac is compatible with the new Intel-based Mac machines as well as PowerPC models, and has Hot Keys that map to Mac programs such as iTunes and iPhoto.

“The Microsoft Hardware team are excited to provide this Mac-only keyboard and mouse to strengthen Microsoft’s line-up of products for Mac users, which includes our productivity suite, Office 2004 for Mac,” says Brigitte Reed, HRD product manager for Microsoft New Zealand. “This launch further demonstrates Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing the computing experience for Mac users.”
