CES keynote – Ballmer’s on tap

We’re about an hour away from the Consumer Electronic Show keynote, and Steve Ballmer’s no doubt in the green room, prepping for a talk that will be heard around the world. If you’re curious and don’t have anything better to do, you can watch it live on the MS Press Room site.

Me, I’m going to clean the fish tank.

Ballmer may well pull a rabbit out of his hat. One of the best things he could do for Microsoft and for us customers is to cut through the Windows 7 licensing BS: a re-design of the Win7 product lineup to mimic the Office 2010 lineup would be most welcome. But I’m not holding my breath.

UPDATE: Not much interesting from Ballmer at CES. I’m glad I cleaned the fish tank.
