Leak: Everything Microsoft is Announcing at CES
Posted in: Microsoft, steve ballmer, Today's Chili, top, Windows, windows 7, zune
TechCrunch has a quick rundown of everything that Steve Ballmer will supposedly be announcing at Microsoft’s CES keynote. Surprise (well, not), it’s all stuff we already know:
• Windows 7 will hit public beta (or just grab the torrent now)
• Windows Mobile will get Flash by March (weeeeee!)
• Two Halo games for Xbox 360 (this one and this one) this year
• Less terrible home networking (“I’m not kidding” says TechCrunch’s Erick Schonfeld.)
It’s hard to be exciting when everything you’re announcing is an open “secret.” The Windows 7 public beta would be a biggie, except we’ve already touched, groped and licked it, as has everyone else who really cares at this point. So, Ballmer, please, please, please pull a Zunephone out of your pants. I actually want one. Well, not the one from your pants, but I suppose beggars can’t be choosers. [TechCrunch]
Future, Cupertino — After a long and fruitful tenure as CEO, Steve Jobs steps down in early 2009 to fanfare and industry fawning. Apple needs a new leader. It’s time to choose your own adventure.
