A Quick Snapshot of the Microsoft Booth

Microsoft’s booth was BIG, as always, but precious little new to see in terms of entertainment.

Of course, they were showing off XBox Live, which is definitely an important platform for high-quality (HD) movie consumption, and Netflix on the XBox.

Additionally, Microsoft was demonstrating “Mediaroom”, the STB version of Media Center, and the software behind AT&T U-Verse. They’re saying that Mediaroom has 2.5M subs worldwide (up 1M from last year) – mostly from AT&T and BT in the UK.

Finally, Microsoft had a number of touch screens showing Windows 7. Check out the Microsoft CES Virtual Pressroom for demos on Windows 7 and Windows Mobile, links to press releases and stories, and to watch the Steve Ballmer keynote address.
