Gates talks interconnected future

InternetNews | at | by Mike

Seamless, omnipresent and interconnected. That's how Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, speaking today here at the 2007 International CES trade show, sees the future of consumer electronics. And not surprisingly, he sees Microsoft and Windows Vista being at the heart of it all.

In what might be his final keynote at CES (considering his plans to leave his day-to-day role at Microsoft next year,) Gates spent a good portion of his speech detailing the slew of recent and upcoming Microsoft product launches -- most notably, Windows Vista, Microsoft Office 2007, the Zune digital music player, and the Xbox 360.
