Microsoft developing next mouse technology?

First we had optical that Microsoft really made mainstream with their Intellimouse Explorer. Next we had laser which Logitech has really done well in implementing. Is Microsoft coming back with the next big thing? Their website shows a countdown and a message saying goodbye to laser. The mystery though might already be solved as Engadget has a post on Blue Track mouse that uses a blue LED and a wide angle lense so that the mouse can be used on more surfaces. The picture of the mouse sports the same logo that the Microsoft website shows. I'm just curious as to why Microsoft doesn't go all blue and use Bluetooth as the wireless tech and do away with the dongle as Bluetooth seems to be pretty standard on laptops these days.
