I must have missed it but didn't hear any big WinMo talk. Mostly Vista, Xbox, and future stuff (coupons and display panel walls at home). During the Vista presentation they talked Vista Home Server, which was blocked. Wonder what it is about?

Yeah, WinMo was all of about 30 seconds of talk.

Home Server looks really cool. They always block something during the keynote. My take is that they don't want to make it official until the other vendor announces it later this week. So they couldn't show you all the cool features of the HP Home Server until HP makes the announcement at CES.

I really like the 360 stuff they showed. Very very cool tech coming.
