Does MS put up a high-res downloadable version of the keynote like Apple does on the iTMS?

You mean like this?

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0901...vent/index.html

Although that's off Apple's site, not specifically the iTMS.

Actually, iTMS now has a keynote podcast with high-res versions...

After Apple's crapworld announcement, they really have all they spotlights on them! Hopefully they deliver. Can't wait for the release of the Windows 7 Beta to beta testers.

EDITED: Now my sentence make sense hehe thanks +TCLN

Insert the word "wait" for the above sentence to make sense

The pronoun 'they' should also be changed to 'Microsoft', for the sake of clarity.

#7 jporter on 07 Jan 2009 - 17:56

Damn, 3am for me here in The Netherlands

Dunno if I'll set the alarm gotta get up at 8am

#8 lylesback2 on 07 Jan 2009 - 18:10

#9 Soldiers33 on 07 Jan 2009 - 18:25

LOL, I love that video you added. His "dance" / entrance is priceless

#11.1 +dead.cell on 08 Jan 2009 - 00:29

So is his extreme loss of breath.

#12 XDViPeR on 07 Jan 2009 - 19:24

9.30PM For us in the east!

I'm waiting for the public release of windows 7.

#13 E.Fahd on 07 Jan 2009 - 19:48

7.44PM here in Morocco

I'll be watching it for sure and and i hope Stevie does some "Ballmer"

#14 +dead.cell on 07 Jan 2009 - 19:56

That... video... made my eyes and ears bleed... Ugh...

#15 REM2000 on 07 Jan 2009 - 20:51

as long as it's steve sink and not ballmer it should be a good show.

#16 dogmai79 on 07 Jan 2009 - 21:56

Is it going to be posted live and watch from where they are currently or will there be a link available to watch it from the start if you're late? I'm only asking because I don't know if I'll be able to make it on time for the start.

(1 reply) #17 Kevin. on 07 Jan 2009 - 21:58

Damn, would it be funny if Ballmer did the same act again tonight. Can't wait for the keynote speech tonight!

#17.1 FusionOpz on 08 Jan 2009 - 00:22

I wanna see this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zEQhhaJsU4 again LOL!
whoops wrong link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8To-6VIJZRE

#18 -Hiroshi- on 08 Jan 2009 - 00:36

LoL Ballmer looks like he has a little too much fun with this.

#19 Shiranui on 08 Jan 2009 - 00:45

Even if Ballmer just came out, said 'developers' fourteen times and left, it would still be more compelling than Apple's efforts.

#20 GraphiteCube on 08 Jan 2009 - 00:58

I have never watched CES keynotes, this is my first time...

#21 freakyfriday on 08 Jan 2009 - 02:07

almost time!

(1 reply) #22 Nauge on 08 Jan 2009 - 02:15

Was it bill gates who spoke in previous years... if so thats probably why i never bother to watch one.

#22.1 +d3bruts1d on 08 Jan 2009 - 10:30

Yes it was.

#23 lylesback2 on 08 Jan 2009 - 02:37

You can also discuss this on Neowin IRC, in the #microsoft channel

#24 PGHammer on 08 Jan 2009 - 02:58

Yeowch! It's (Windows 7 beta) hitting the public (as in the rest of us) *Friday*. So, at most, you only need wait *two days*.

Also, Windows Live Essentials launches *now*. (It's even Windows 7 beta ready.)

Windows Live Search even arrives for all VZW phones (even those NOT running Windows Mobile, which is most of VZW's phones).

(1 reply) #25 Steven77 on 08 Jan 2009 - 02:59

Ok so we all have win 7. wooptie doo. Only interesting news would have been if the beta was something other than 7000 personally.

#25.1 Jayayess1190 on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:01

Not all of us are pirates.

#26 Sem82 on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:02

i wish they would stop with the jokes

#27 Titoist on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:41

I find it awesome that you can play music from the PC onto the XBox by sending it to the xbox instead of searching for it from the xbox.

#28 mentalindustries on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:51

What other keynotes are going to be streamed?

(1 reply) #29 +warwagon on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:55

First off the chick showing off windows 7 wouldn't not have been up their if she wasn't attractive and if she didn't sound hot.

Second the group tripod looked like they belonged more at a linux keynote than a windows one.

#29.1 simon360 on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:58

They single handedly killed the "I'm a PC" campaign.

#30 LTD on 08 Jan 2009 - 03:56

I didn't watch all of it. How'd it go?

#31 +KoL on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:00

God that was baaaad

#32 portauthority on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:02

not so good

(2 replies) #33 LTD on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:02

Well, MS tries a bit too hard to be cool. What are ya gonna do.

At least you've all got a Beta to play with and some other goodies.

We're still waiting for talk of Snow Leopard and basically everything else.

#33.1 Steven77 on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:06

What other goodies...

and Snow Leapord?

#33.2 RAID 0 on 08 Jan 2009 - 08:39

Yeah, Ballmer was gonna talk about Snow Leopard. :-P

I love how LTD slipped the apple link into this thread (up a few posts) that's not about Apple, but somehow... he's trying to distract from the FACT that Windows 7 will be much more successful than the next Apple OS.

"No. Here guys... look... we're still around. Look! Snow Leopard! See?"

I will agree that MS does try too hard to be cool, when... they're really not. I mean really. See LTD, we can agree on some things. :-)

#34 +KoL on 08 Jan 2009 - 04:07

Yeah that was the only thing I liked, beta this Friday. Ahh and Live on Thursday.

#36 Rail Grinder on 08 Jan 2009 - 05:49
