First of all they played a video of what Gate's last day at Microsoft might be like, and it' was hysterical. Best sense of humor ever.
Bill is talking about how all devices are going to have to connect, which is boring cause this is what he has been talking about the last few years. A total duh moment.
Surface is still pretty amazing.
Bill is talking about Silverlight, and they showed a demo of Windows Live Photo Gallery....guess what I just downloaded.
The 2008 Olympics will be broadcast on MSN with Silverlight technology.
10 million members of Xbox Live(how many are silver?), AND MGM and ABC will provide HD content.
Media Center extenders will be made by HP and Samsung.
Demoing Zune Social which is kinda cool. It's like Last.fm, but using your Zune. After seeing how the Social works I kinda sorta want a Zune.
If Microsoft can get Sync into other makes and models, or if there are Sync enabled after market radios, Sync is going to be huge.
They have a lot of big plans for cell phones, including buying movie tickets for you and your friends and then being able to text all those friends to let them know the tickets have been purchased. The down side is you have to have a windows mobile phone. Which isn't exactly cheap or available on a lot of phones.
All this mobile stuff is amazing, but it's just years and years away.
Wow so that's it....kind of a non event.
