Bill Gates Live at CES at Las Vegas

Today when I was surfing on the net, I just went to www.microsoft.com and wow.......I saw the link to see Bill Gates speech Live at CES 2007 @ Las Vegas. And fortunately it was exact 9:30 pm my time (6:30 pm pacific time), so I was connected exactly on time.

After downloading one .asx file in a minute I started to watch the speech. And let me tell you the whole speech was very impressive.

Here are the highlights which I remember:

  • Some cool windows vista features like setting up any video as a wallpaper.
  • Vista search functionality.
  • Vista photo organizer.
  • Very solid Media center experince with capability to see sports, television shows, movies etc.
  • Navigating in virtual earth using XBOX controller was deadly.
  • Nice demo of Halo 3 which is going to release on XBOX 360.
  • Gaming on vista enabled pc and some one on vista enabled pc can play game against someone playing on XBOX 360.
  • Some add ons to XBOX 360.
  • Windows mobile.
  • Zune.
  • And finally a nice demo of future technologies by bill gates....

Looks like 2007 will be a great year for M$
