Bill Gates Keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2006


January 4, 2006

For the tenth year in a row, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates returns to kick off CES with his vision of the year ahead in consumer electronics. Bill will deliver the opening keynote on Wednesday, January 4 at 6:30 P.M. Pacific in the Las Vegas Hilton Theater.

In his keynote, Gates will share Microsoft’s vision for the future of consumer technology, highlighting the important role of software in developing and delivering innovation that benefits the industry, our partners, and people everywhere. If the past is any indication, expect the unexpected. Bill has used his keynote address at CES in the past to unveil new products ranging from Xbox and Tablet PC to Smartphones. And with Microsoft’s strong lineup of innovative new products scheduled to launch in 2006, including Windows Vista, this year’s keynote will provide a glimpse at the important new technologies that will be shaping the industry.

You can watch the Keynote live at Microsoft's website tonight at 6:30pm PST.

A tip from the last year's CES webcast: if you start experiencing sound or video interruptions, try using a lower-bandwidth channel. It may actually work better!

Fight Night Round 2 was very well done, I can't wait for Round 3 on the X360.

That's wonderful news about the HD-DVD drive IMO. I was planning on getting a PS3 right away for Blu-Ray but now I won't have to rush out and try to get one on launch day.
