MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Microsoft Chairman also talks up new Windows Media Center Extenders, next version of MSN, and SPOT watches in his Consumer Electronics Show kick-off keynote. "The home is going digital," Gates proclaimed. And "Media Center is the centerpiece product for what goes on in the home of the future."
Throughout his remarks, Gates emphasized the concept of "seamless computing experiences." These experiences - where "smart" devices are connected together via "very rich interfaces" - are at the heart of Microsoft's next-generation software products, ranging from its "Longhorn" version of Windows for the desktop to its MSN Premium Internet software for broadband networking.
