Bill Gates Keynote at International CES


Recommended Posts

HDMI for the Xbox360 wasn't mentioned!

Most likely it is not coming! I didn't think Microsoft was stupid enough to say we now have 10.4 million XBOX 360 owners and guess what, we now have a new console!! Lets sell another 10.4 million to the same customers! :)

True that you can still run all the games and what not, but its the fact of the point that people just purchased items for their loved ones at Christmas and it is already now outdated for a new model. Only Apple has the tactless PR to do this to customers after a huge Holiday Season.

Theres more to vista, office, windows live, Xbox, Xbox live, comming.... we got a whole week of CES covarage..... i bet they are still hiding some till the offical launch of these products (minus Xbox and Xbox live, as they are already out ;))

A fairly minor update to the 360 isn't exactly CES keynote material.

So the whole video marketplace thing looks pretty cool. I think I heard her say it's all available now? The video marketplace i'm looking at on my xbox right now is nothing like it. I also noticed that you can download huge HDTV movies that would never fit on the xbox hard disk too so they must be releasing MUCH larger disks at some point

Adding Full Digital 1080p support with possible HDCP support is a pretty major update. People with v1 of XBOX 360 may end up being crippled one day due to this update if/when HDCP is currently established and the HD-DVD player will no longer support v1. I am for adding HDCP in a later edition of XBOX 360, but not 7 days after a huge holiday season and so short into the start of the products life.

Analog to Digital isn't minor! :)

I think it's only available in the US right now.

Adding a video output port to their game console just wouldn't have flowed with the keynote. Take my word for it.

i figured all they are gonna do is just create a lil plug with the HDMI port on it but still plugs into the regular port that's on there now with the optical. Think of the component cables box thing now but just cut off the cables and you get my drift. That would be the best thing since then they could make lots more money via sales of an accessorie instead of redesigning to get it built in. the PS3 was designed with it in mind so great for them... the output from the 360 is already digital i'd assume, the box with the TV/HDTV switch either just tells the xbox to switch modes or it acutally does some sort of conversion there.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
