CES 2008 - Bill Gates kicked off CES 2008 with his last keynote as a Microsoft employee. It was a great show with lots of flash and fun - but when the lights went down, was there much else there?

 

So the 'big news' was... it's even easier to buy a 360, and they've a couple of Disney films on XBox Marketplace now?

 

YAAAAY!

 

goodbye bill gates...

 

I've heard it all now!

 

ok, who the hell is Kelly 'Tipperqueen' and why would Slash wanna play with her??? a GuitarHero champion?? what????? i kno it takes skill to play that game (and it is a fun game), but theres no comparison to a real guitarist, especially Slash!

oh, just a little rant... oh well...

 

So you're the guy that doesn't get invited to guitar hero parties 'cos you rant about how time would be better spent playing a 'real' instrument?

Although come to think of it, who the hell has guitar hero parties?

 

They're not saying they are

It's just for fun and publicity

I also have guitar hero parties, well parties where we play a lot of GH, because it's a lot of fun.

 

I looked at the video after reading about the keynote on Engadget and was laughing throughout the entire thing. Wonderfully done, and its nice to know even billionaires have a sense of humour and can poke fun at themselves Alas, as you've pointed out, this leaves us all with a taste of fun but not much fact :/ Oh well!

 

Yeah I was expecting something much bigger than this, especially with all the speculation.
