Visiting the Microsoft Product Pavilion, Bill Gates

By Mauricio Freitas, in , posted: 8-JAN-2007 06:44

This is the second day of the Windows Vista RTM Lab, and we have a long string of activities planned. The day started at 7am (yes, on a Sunday), so that the group could move to the Las Vegas Convention Centre, grab their CES badges and visit the Microsoft Product Pavillion stand, just outside the LVCC.



We weren't allowed to take pictures inside because of our NDA - but all will be be revealed later tonight after Bill Gates's keynote at the 2007 CES.

Talking about Bill Gates, he arrived at the Microsoft Product Pavilion about 9:30am and our group had a private meeting with Mr. Gates. He answered some of our questions regarding technology, the new Microsoft Windows Vista, the launch activites and about his plans to leave the day-to-day at Microsoft and dedicate his time to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Back to The Orleans we have more sessions, and at 6:30pm our group will move to The Venetian to attend the keynote.

Exciting day ahead!

*mumbles about NDA* Is there a link to view Mr Gates Keynote address?

Yeah, I think it's exciting also and I liked the gift pack images, great stuff.
