    Tech Steve Ballmer To Deliver CES 2012 Keynote

    Posted on Windows 8 News, Rumors & Tips

    Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is set to deliver the opening keynote for CES 2012 once again, and more than likely it will be full of Windows 8 news.
    Over the past couple of years, Microsoft has been*keynoting at CES. Over the years they’ve launched the original Xbox, Avatar Kinect and in 2009 they launched the first public beta of Windows 7. So I think it’s a pretty safe bet to assume at this stage that Windows 8 will be taking center stage at this keynote. Hopefully we will see the first public beta. A technical preview is expected to arrive in September.

    Company insiders are also confirming that the keynote will be jam packed with Windows 8 goodies.*Ballmer will more than likely demo a number of ARM and Intel based Windows 8 tablets that will hit the market later in 2012 when Windows 8 is generally available.
    Steve Ballmer tends to get rather excited at these sort of events, so it will certainly be interesting and entertaining to watch him deliver his keynote speech.
