Microsoft wants PC buyers to recognize a machine running its forthcoming Windows Vista operating system from afar.

The software giant has already set out the minimum hardware requirements for a PC to run the operating system.

Now it's begun sharing ideas on how to design a Vista PC as part of what it calls the Vista Industrial Design Toolkit.

The kit, which has been distributed to about 70 different companies, offers PC and peripherals manufacturers as well as product design firms a number of ideas on ways to shape PCs and related hardware to complement the operating system's new features.
