Microsoft in International CES 2009

Leave a reply

The greatest electronic product gathering-International Consumer Electronics Show 2009 is currently held in Las Vegas,USA.Plenty of new technologies are displaying in front of millions of eyes and no doubt that most of them will be in the retail market soon.

Microsoft is always a conspicuous multimedia giant in the show.This year is the first time that Steve Ballmer,CEO of Microsoft Corp.,has his own stage to lay out Microsoft’s vision for personal computing,connected entertainment and consumer electronics.

For me,I’m quite interested in Windows 7 beta.As I said before,Windows7 beta 1 had been leaked out several weeks ago and actually I had installed it and been testing on it.Because it hadn’t been released officially,it still has no way to activate it.However,in CES 2009 Steve Ballmer revealed that Windows 7 beta will open to public for test purpose from January 9 2009.That means Windows 7 will start the way of running to maturity.And perhaps it will come into the market asap in order to reoccupy consumer’s confidences from the failure of releasing Windows Vista.Stay tuned!

Windows Mobile,Windows Live and Microsoft Xbox 360 are the other stars of the show.Steve Ballmer gave out a brief keynote for all of them and you could get some points you want from the following clip.Enjoy!

After watching the full keynote,I believe you will feel excited and have a great hope to see the innovation of Microsoft in 2009.Microsoft,you can do what you said,right?

PS3 and Xbox 360 are the best selling video game consoles in the world.Both of them are having strong supports of software(games) so that the users can easily get every kind of entertainment from that box nowadays.Meanwhile,a lot of hardware producers are starting their works to make enhanced accessories in order to fit every gamer’s demands. So what we want,what we get-it’s the real thing!

Some of my friends are always confusing on choosing a proper one.However,I can’t give them a reasonable advice at all because I’m not an expert on that area too.Thus,I tried to search for answers from some forums and professional websites.After all,I get my conclusions:

PS3 is good at describing the details of pictures.So if you have an HDTV at home and equip with your PS3,you will surely get a perfect experience on your vision.The bad stability of network function is a real  death-wound.Compared with PS3,Xbox 360 looks like more popular because it can perform well in any situation(with/without HDTV).Actually once you put it with Windows Media Center,it will not only be a game console,but also a powerful home entertainment system which you may not imagine.

PS3 and Xbox360 are sold at almost the same price(RM1500-1700).Which would you buy,PS3 or Xbox360?
