Bill Gates was tapped to deliver one of three keynote addresses in the slated January 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. From the looks of it, this will be the last time he'll be speaking as MS' chairman as he is resigning from the iconic company come 2008. This would be the ninth keynote for Mr. Gates and most likely, the company's gaming wing will hog much of his speech time as they are facing major challenges in several fields - with the impending releases of the PS3 and Wii. Other keynote speakers are Motorola chairman and CEO Ed Zander, and Roger Iger, president and CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
Another topic that will most certainly get some air time in that keynote address is the Windows Vista Operating System which is carrying the heavy burden of energizing its software base. Some of Seattle's technology press is also speculating that Microsoft's Zune nee Argo media device, its connected software and services, would also be tackled.
To give you a bit of a refresher, the world's richest man's keynote last January in the same show focused on MS' support to the next-generation HD-DVD format with the announcement of an external Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive - due out before the end of 2006. Alongside that assurance are some software announcements - the availability of more games on Xbox Live Arcade. The 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show takes place between January 8th and 11th.
