Kind of the sensor support will be official under Win7

Assuming Win7 will target mobile gadgets too, this could be interesting.

Windows Sensor Development Platform featuring the Flexis JM USB
Microcontroller: JMBADGE2008-B

The Windows Sensor and Location Platform is a hardware and software
development kit that allows designers to integrate sensor and location
devices into Microsoft Windows. This hardware platform features
various Freescale sensors and microcontrollers, including the
MCF51JM128 ColdFire=AE USB MCU, the MMA7260QT 3-axis accelerometer, the
MC34673 Li-ion battery charger IC, and the MPR084 capacitive touch
sensor.

Freescale sensors enrich designs by detecting real-world conditions,
such as motion, touch or pressure. New for Windows 7, the Windows
Sensor and Location Platform incorporates accelerometers, proximity
touch sensors and microcontrollers (MCUs) that enable your computer's
applications to adapt to their current environment.

With location sensors such as the MMA7455L accelerometer in GPS
devices that use triangulation technology -- your applications and
gadgets can know exactly where they are, enabling them to provide more
location-relevant functionality. The MPR084 proximity touch sensor
gives the user interface a customizable array of multi-use touch
buttons. Freescale's MCF51JM128 ColdFire=AE USB Microcontroller has both
I2C and SPI ports available to communicate with these digital sensors.

Through Windows 7, the user has control over how data from these
devices is exposed to applications. Hardware manufacturers can learn
how to write sensor and location drivers by installing the Windows 7
Driver Kit (WDK). Developers can learn how to write location-aware and
sensor-enabled applications by installing the Windows 7 Software
Development Kit (SDK).
