Lets bet on how many times the demos will crash this year.

#3.1 marlow714 on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:13

#6.1 cau on 04 Jan 2006 - 23:37

#16.1 ViperSnake on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:26

I second that, GIVE US LARGER FEED, OR I'LL GO USING LINUX!!!

#16.2 Ideas Man on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:40

Yes, because using linux is obviously going to improve it

#16.3 advancedboy on 05 Jan 2006 - 04:45

#18 thenay on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:30

Yea the 300k quality is crap, oh well... lol

#19 Protex on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:32

Indeed, quality is not pretty.

And they are late...

#20 xmintox on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:35

100k stream is nice enough, but theyre late

and this music bugs me

#21 PharosBR on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:38

Nice
Watching it right now

#22 ViperSnake on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:39

Let's get it started, just began!

#23 jonkun on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:43

It's slow, anyone know of a faster stream?

#24 SFalcon on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:44

was buffering a lot, but running good now.

#25 parhamreza on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:47

I just randomly stumbled on it, and was lucky to start from the very start.

#26 Zirus1701 on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:51

What kind of screen is that? It just looks like glass

#27 yoaliens3000 on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:59

Bill seems a bit off tonight... idk what we was talking about comparing himself to mother nature...

#28 Protex on 05 Jan 2006 - 02:59

One word. WOW!

I need money, to afford all of these things. =(

#29 ViperSnake on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:05

Wow, Bill Gates likes Mountain Biking? Yeah, you gotta do something whilst millions of computers are waiting for the "Zero Day" patch...

#30 Zolk on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:14

Nice to see Microsoft is finally getting around to adding features Apple has had in OS X and iLife for years.

#31 ViperSnake on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:15

If you really want to kick it old skool, plug something in and let's see some stop errors!

Have to say, media player 11 is looking pretty damn sweet. Providing it supports iTunes aac, I may be switching over!!

#32.1 Ideas Man on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:41

That's up to apple allowing them to use it, not Microsoft refusing to use it.

#32.2 jasondefaoite on 05 Jan 2006 - 05:10

I wasn't actually talking about protected files with the apple DRM. MP still can't play the plain vanilla non DRM aac files iTunes generates.

If it can play the non DRM ones, and pull the album art out which is embedded in the file, MP11 will kick some ass. For the protected files... well there is always jHymn

#32.3 zachdms on 05 Jan 2006 - 15:23

Just install an AAC plug-in...

#33 PharosBR on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:19

omg
Bill Gates said on the show they were gonna show new stuff from Windows Vista. But omg, this is ridiculous. A new slideshow, WOW! A photo gallery in which you can crop the images! UNBELIEAVABLE! Gadgets and RSS! AMAZING! And NOW when you scroll through your song lists in WMP, its very SMOOTH! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW! [/sarcasm]

After watching this video, I'm not expecting much from Vista anymore...

#35 Snakehn on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:20

It was all good until Justin Timberlake showed up...

#36 Sub on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:21

man Justin runied it.

#37 ViperSnake on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:22

Even worse; Justin Timberlake/Bill Gates duet?! I bet his single crashes the CD players!

#38 Snakehn on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:23

a Blue Screen of death on your Stereo....

#39 jonkun on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:25

I don't really like him, but Justin rolled it pretty classy if you ask me.

#40 MGS3-SS on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:25

Meh Verizon, Cingular is better.

#41 Croquant on 05 Jan 2006 - 03:50

I can't belive how many of you actualy care what Bill Gates says. He's just a mouthpeice these days.

#42 xiontouch on 05 Jan 2006 - 04:08

give me all that bad ass stuff microsoft...

(1 reply) #43 joeydoo on 05 Jan 2006 - 04:10

Why am I looking at some Xbox stuff? Cringe worthy. Who's this weirdo Steve barma barmo. None of these people have any charisma. It would be funny if they weren't real.

#43.1 rm20010 on 05 Jan 2006 - 04:15

*sigh* Ballmer hasn't changed at all. Still with that drug induced craziness

#44 Cyranthus on 05 Jan 2006 - 04:11

the computers towards the beginning was pretty cool, but when it got going towards the xbox.. it got boring. meh

#45 Neomac v6 on 05 Jan 2006 - 05:26

I'm holding out for next week's Stevenote.
