0http://logiclounge.com - http://twitter.com/craighton - http://gplus.to/craighton || Microsoft has just wrapped up their last official keynote at CES. The event kicked off with an auto-tuned remix of the last 15 years of Microsoft's CES history. 120 seconds later, and Ryan Seacrest is welcomed on stage to host the keynote with Steve Ballmer. First on the agenda is Windows Phone 7. Steve mentions how it's the most unique platform on the market that really puts the people first. Derek Snyder, senior product manager for Windows Phone 7, takes the stage and begins to demonstrate some new features available on their mobile platform. New devices from Nokia and HTC were also announced, and are set for release in the next few months on T-Mobile, Rogers, Telus, and unlocked at Microsoft Stores.
Steve begins his Windows 8 news with some current stats about Windows. To this day, there are over 1.3 billion Windows PCs being used on the entire planet! A video featuring Steve's favorite new PCs running Windows segues into Tami Reller showing off the latest new features in Windows 8. She demos the brand new Internet Explorer 10 with HTML5 video, built in sharing functionalities, new apps, games, and how to navigate though open applications with the snap feature. The next milestone will feature a fully functional App Store with free apps this February. No word on the final launch date for Windows 8 just yet. Reller finishes up by talking about some of the latest ultrabooks that have been announced at CES.
