I think that the above are a logical step forward for housebot making headway into the home. Vista MCE is great for allowing automation control via onscreen actions
Sidebar could show device properties like termostat readings etc
Sideshow would do the same only on a portable bluetooth display allowing full house control from anywhere within the house. Some nice sideshow devices starting to appear now. If housebot can interface with these things will really start moving here I am guessing.
