Our lunchtime chat with Bill Gates at CES
11
At CES yesterday afternoon, I had a unique opportunity to chat with Microsoft's Bill Gates. I was joined by Ryan from Engadget -- as well as Brian Lam from Gizmodo, Brian Crecente from Kotaku, and Robert Scoble from ScobleShow (and formerly of Microsoft) -- to talk with Bill about the evening's keynote announcements, including IPTV and the Xbox 360's hastening transition into the mythical convergence box. Engadget's posted images and a transcript of some of the bigger topics, including vertical integration in the Zune and Xbox 360, DRM, net neutrality, and Microsoft's direction after Bill's eventual departure. Not content with the greatest hits? Catch the whole thing on video at ScobleShow.

Boy...everybody and their mother is getting a picture with Bill Gates.
Wow...is that what it takes to get you on board with the XBOX revolution or XBOX evolution as we're currently witnessing?
I can't wait till my XBOX can be converted into a GPS/Dishwasher/satellite entertainment system. Looking forward to the Roomba attachment coming soon.

I would be so tempted to slap that guy upside the head. I've nothing against him, it'd just be funny.

As much as I despise Microsoft, I must admit, Bill is a pretty likeable guy. But so was Palpatine.

Heh - this shot would explain why you publish a story about how PS3s don't sell all that well on average every other day ;-) Does The Man also provide you with financial support? Or just photo opportunities?
