what's with the borg green of Vista? subliminal message perhaps?I did like the 'twist' to tabbed browsing though. I don't like widgets (or whatever it is they call them) stuck to the right hand side of the screen taking up 1/4 of the space. And why does bill want to WATCH news in his car, driving and watching TV? errrmm...He just doesn't have the reality distortion field working for him I guess.
Big promises, let's see if they can keep 'em. I have my doubts. They need to REWRITE THE CODE. Preferably from a UNIX platform, just build up. Embrace open source to an extent. To a Genuine Advantage.
Nothing really new and INNOVATIVE like everyone said it's just mostly sup par blatant copies , I honestly think that's all Microsoft does since their inception copy copy copy it's in their history it's either that or they buyout a company and implement the technology, of all of their VAST resources and money this is the best they can come up with?, if I was Bill Gates first thing i should do is fire Ballmer, and hire new creative & UI design guys, seriously what has Ballmer done for Microsoft?? and he has this personal mantra of enterprise clients first with deep pockets before the average consumer and copy from the best (mind you he actually said that on a recent interview)... I just don't get it.. =(
"gates has as much personality as my belly button lint..."Yeah, but you are what, 38, living in your parent's basement and date PS2 games. He's rich and owns the majority of the world that you and most of the hippocrits here SAY they don't reside in. Make your own choices and not because everyone else says you don't like IE, Xbox or Microsoft.
Microsoft is a lot like Michael Jackson: Everyone talks s**t about them, and as soon they release a new CD everyone is a fan again.GO APPLE!!!!!!! (Thundercats HOOOOOO)
Short and Sweet Wrap-Up Tablet PC - More Gates yabbering about his pet toy, all talk no action. I was a heavy believer 4 years ago, lost my religion however. Want to worship again, but then this thing called ‘reality’ is out there. 360 - Yeah yeah, whatever. It would help if people could freaking actually BUY them. Money-losing rathole, now with an additional HD-DVD upgrade option needed. The Live strategy will backfire, don’t place all chips on that. Media Center with DirectTV - Score one. That’s the one smart move. Tho, with Direct TV PVR, umm why do you really need Media Center? And cable companies themselves doing PVR functionality. Media Center too geek toy. Vista - Umm yeah? Rehash. So? Rehash. Yeah? Oh really, so? Mobile - What? Bit player, hitching ride on a Palm device, another division forever treading water. VIIV - Ummm, marketing spazzing up Intel, eh? Never mind that Cell chip. Portable Media Centers - Oh do be serious. I bet the people that own these are but in the dozens. An iPod this is not. Future home tech rot - Yeah yeah, maybe if like Gates, rich beyond dreams, and have time to tinker with all this lucid dreaming. Otherwise pay no heed. HD-TV - Taking credit for the HD? Saying 360 the primary thrust spurring HD adoption? What arrogance. No doubt real consumer electronics companies none too happy with Microsoft pissing in their pools and stealing the credit. Urge and Starz! - MS-MTV? Content partnerships, the backing of Microsoft means a sure fire death, if going by history. Ironic timing, on the death of MSNBC, they get into content again, songs and movies. Blah. DOA.

Conspicuously absent from the presentation is any mention of Windows Vista security. I guess consumers don’t care about security. What are viruses and spyware when you have 3-D window management and a flashy new media player, right? Great. Will Microsoft get security right this time around?Brian<a class="user" href="http://brianmcnitt.com/wp/2006/01/05/bill-gates-2006-ces-keynote/">http://brianmcnitt.com/wp/2006/01/05/bill-gates-2006-ces-keynote/</a>
