If an article on ZDNET is to be believed, "Microsoft is beginning work on the first of what it plans to make a family of customized Windows platforms designed for specific rooms around the home". According to the article, the 'Kitchen Client' will be an additional layer on the Microsoft Windows Operating Systems and integrate with Windows Live services.

The Kitchen computing environment would feature a family calendar, recipe center, entertainment features and a shared bulletin board, among others.
Though there is no confirmation from Microsoft yet, speculation is literally running quite wild on this, with a large number of jokes on this concept being seen. Some of these jokes center around the possibility of Microsoft coming up with 'Bathroom clients that dispense toothpaste, liquid soap, and shampoo', and 'Laundry clients', 'Bedroom Clients', and so on.
What do you think? Is this a viable possibility?
