Microsoft Booth Tour

We tagged along on the Disney tour for the Microsoft booth.  Overall, it was disappointing.

They showed off their MediaRoom platform, which is not a consumer device, but rather their IPTV platform.

New Zunes... Wireless autosync is interesting, but overall....snooze.

MSN Direct(formerly SPOT) is a data subscription service... Good for GPS devices for traffic, weather, and sports.

One of the best things on display was the ESPN Remote control, which had WiFi, it's own screen with own program guide data, SMS, I'm.  Not released yet, but the company hopes to have it out by the end of April.

The most compelling thing they had was the Surface table.  They had the wine lounge application, which is quite compelling and useful.
