eWeek | at | by Mike

Microsoft wants to make sure its forthcoming Windows Vista operating system won't be all show and no go.

To that end, Bill Gates, the company's chairman and chief software architect, demonstrated Vista's ability to offer consumers what he says is a more immersive experience. The venue was his annual keynote address that opens the International Consumer Electronics Show here.

Thus Gates, assisted by several other Microsoft executives, touted numerous Vista features, such as a built-in photo editor that can quickly touch up digital photos before they can be sharedalso maintaining an original should a user want to go back.
