Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference Previews Upcoming Hardware

While much of today’s keynote on the second day of Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference  was about some pretty dry subjects, mainly targeting the enterprise market space,   some time was taken  show off some of the hardware that will be sporting Windows in all its various flavors.

Much of the hardware like the new Samsung Windows Phone, the Western Digital Home/SMB server and some pretty sweet looking laptops, won’t be available until later in the year but we got a first glimpse of them today; and here a a broad selection of what was shown:
