Bill Gates kicked off the annual International Consumer Electronics Show on Wednesday night by touting a mix of “seamless computing experiences” inside and outside the home, driven by Microsoft technology:
The Windows Media Center Extender, which allows consumers to retrieve and control digital music, video and photos stored on Microsoft Media Center PCs from their TVs.
The portable Media Center, which is small enough to fit in a pocket yet stores and plays audio and video.
Microsoft smart watches, made by Fossil, which can receive news, weather, calendar information, stocks, messages and, soon, sports scores, from existing radio networks.
