Good lord, that was the worst CES keynote ever. I watched it over the Internet from a hotel room in Hawaii and finally gave up about two-thirds of the way through.

With only the view of my living room, I watched a bit more than you did and agree, It was quite boring. With all of the sales figures, it sounded like a speech meant for shareholders.
It was awful. Ballmer should be disinvited from giving future CES keynotes.

No Ballmer needs to be unleashed. Him ranting, raving & jumping around on the stage is quality entertainment!
Ballmer should have ripped off his sweater to show a super hero shirt with the Win7 Logo on it. That would have been awesome!
However if he is going to do a more ‘normal’ presentation he needs to not lick his lips… that pointed tongue is quite creepy!
I never thought there would be such a clamor to bring back Bill Gates.
