I’ve just attended the partner pavillion which is a fancy name for a cool little tent outside the convention centre.

Not allowed to say what I saw (NDA bla bla blarg) but we did see Halo 2 running on Vista - more about that later once I’m no longer marred by the NDA police. Windows Ultimate Extras…mmm.

I met Bill Gates a few moments ago and shook his hand, was rather surreal and not something that most will believe when I tell friends etc. He seemed a little nervy infront of a huge crowd of us geeks with tongues hanging out but it didn’t halt him from giving some insight into a promised huge Windows release marrying vision and speech - interesting.

Hehe, that’s pretty cool :) I believe in the handshaking, and the Windows release sounds intriguing :o

Ultimate extras huh? …interesting…

If they have you under NDA that must mean they’ve showed some very interesting and new stuff. I can’t wait for the details.

Motion desktop ?

“Motion Desktop” does not exist - it has been renamed. More about that from my mate Bill.

Meeting the main man… huh ?
Would buy you some beers and use the “feed him loadsa beer” ‘torture’ technique to get through the NDA, but am a bit distant these days. Any more mention of Home Server ? That likely to link into the tv\movie download xbox and mobile device direction for convergence ?
The Ultimate Extras, gonna be $$kerching add-ons ?

S’laters..
