Microsoft announced plans last month to walk away from the Consumer Electronics Show after a nearly two-decade involvement with the confab and the organization behind it. The 2012 keynote and giant booth presence will be Microsoft's last.
That makes tomorrow night's keynote address from Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer the beginning of the end. We'll be there to bring you the news, live from the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Microsoft isn't planning major announcements. The company has said that the timing of the annual confab doesn't generally align with its product news milestones, the key reason it's bailing on the show.
But Ballmer is bound to give a look at some of the upcoming trim ultrabook computers running Windows 7. He'll likely demo some previously disclosed features of Windows 8, which should debut toward the end of 2012. He'll almost certainly give a nod to some new handsets running Windows Phone 7.5, the company's mobile phone operating system that's been getting some praise from the tech press. And Ballmer will use the forum of the CES keynote to discuss the momentum Microsoft's Xbox video game console--the top selling console in the United States--continues to gain.
We'll be using ScribbleLive to bring you the news. Come back to this post and stay tuned with live text and photos from Microsoft's CES keynote finale. The event kicks off at 6:30 p.m. PT.
