I know it's no Stevenote, but I was curious as to whether anyone else was planning on watching the live stream of the CES keynote that's supposed to start in about five minutes.

Primary feed available here (http://microsoftatces.com/), others linked to from that page. A means for playing ASX/WMV files is required (Flip4Mac, WMP, etc.).

LOL...they just cut off audio/video from the stage for a demo of Windows Home Server.

In respect to the Intellectual Property being demonstrated on-stage, we are temporarily suspending the audio and video portion of this broadcast. Normal programming will begin shortly. Thank you for your patience.

I glanced at the Engadget live blog. The XBox 360 IPTV thing is interesting, I'm wondering why it's not gong to be ready until "the holiday season" though.

I actually like the Home Server Idea. I actually want to do something like that for my house and have been trying to figure out a cost effective way to do so with my Mac systems and my PC systems. Since Mac OS reads XP/Vista, it seems I might need to set up one of these Windows Home Servers and just network it. :\

I like the idea as well. I haven't been able to find any solid details on it, though. Anybody have an interesting link?

[edit] I found one. Read this article and all the linked articles:

What a keynote! I am stupified! I didn't know Billy and Melissa were into cooking that much?! Bill's kitchen demonstration was a scream; absolutely brilliant! He is definitely on to something there, y'know... software and Ukranian dishes, and shit.

Windows Home Server is pretty much what I was hoping Apple would come out with, especially with Time Machine. Hope they still do.

I'm hoping that Apple comes up with an iLife server.
