Bill Gates will be kicking off CES 2007 this evening at 6:30pm PST.
A few Neowin staff including myself are in Las Vegas and we will be there live to witness the announcements. It's expected that there will be some media center news, Windows Home Server news and some interesting Xbox updates. A lot of focus will be on OEMs and partners marrying hardware and software with Vista.
Microsoft is streaming a webcast of the key note and you can find the links below. Keep an eye on the Neowin Events Blog for our coverage of CES.
