It's the Internet Of Things. Microsoft was just trying to be ahead of the curve (post was from 2014). Afterall, there are now IoT dishwashers, refrigerators, coffeemakers, etc. Whose to say there won't be an IoT toaster?

Technically it’s supposed to be a USB toaster. Not sure how practical such a device could be.

Finally more granularity to the toasty-ness of the finished product than the vague 1-10 dial!
