Tripod with Ballmer at CES: Photos
Gatesy might not be able to fill in for Bill Gates, but he does know how to work it, and as you can see from his expression, he obviously thinks CES is serious stuff.
Who knows what Yon was thinking about, but we'd say it probably wasn't the promise of quicker booting and better battery life in Windows 7.
Good to see some Aussie values made their way into the show, with the band reportedly singing about a guy who wasn't going to do anything with his girlfriend until the game was over... "Can you move a little to the left? I can't see the TV."
One of the journalists in attendance thought at the time that it was the best part of the keynote. Maybe they just liked the way Scod cradled that microphone.
Hopefully Ballmer didn't mind that he was upstaged. Maybe Microsoft could hire one of the band as CEO.
