During his speech at the Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is expected to show new technology for connecting digital content on Windows PCs to home entertainment centers, TVs and portable devices. Gates will announce the new products Wednesday night as part of his keynote address at the CES, an increasingly important venue for Microsoft and other technology giants to tout their consumer strategies.
The technology, dubbed Windows Media Center Extender, will allow TVs and other devices to display content from PCs equipped with Windows Media Center software. Media Center is a version of the PC operating system tweaked for handling digital media and entertainment tasks.
