At the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft is shining a spotlight on something besides the biggest LCD screen or the coolest new tech gadgets: It's showing consumers how Windows can make their lives easier, more productive, more enjoyable.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer opened the show with news that a beta version of Windows 7, Microsoft's newest operating system, will be widely available for download on Jan. 9. He also announced the final availability of Windows Live – free software and services designed to bring a person's online world under one roof and help them keep their life in synch.
Along with a new version Internet Explorer Mobile that helps today's mobile phones connect to the Web in a more powerful way, these announcements underscore Microsoft's efforts to design software that connects the PC, the web, the phone and even the television in a way that is easy to use and fun. It's all part of Microsoft's technology vision to deliver a "life without walls" for consumers.
Says Bill Veghte, senior vice president of the Windows business group at Microsoft: "We are excited to have the strongest pipeline of new technology for Windows in our company's history. We really listened to what our customers want. And we think what we're showing at CES gives consumers choices and experiences they haven't had before."
