After trying for years to make the case that its products belong in the living room, Microsoft has decided its best approach is to tackle the whole house.
Although Apple Computer's combination of iTunes and iPod has proven pretty popular, Microsoft is betting that people want to do more with their music and that they want to be able to move video and pictures around as well.
Chairman Bill Gates made that case at a tony press event at the Shrine Auditorium here. With the help of singer Queen Latifah, Gates showed off a host of gadgets that use one or another Microsoft technology to access movies, music and video.
