If you weren’t able to catch Microsoft’s 2012 CES Opening keynote, then here it is in full from YouTube.  Some sections of it have been posted and discussed at WPDownUnder over recent days.  Microsoft are departing the CES conference basically because the timing in JAN never lines up with any major Microsoft release schedules – limiting what they can talk about.  We can expect to see smaller, but tightly focused separate launches and announcements (either at specific events like Mobile World Congress or BUILD or standalone MS activities) to herald Windows 8 and other forthcoming MS major releases.

If you think of this Keynote as being a “summary” or re-cap of everything MS have been working on for 2012 planned releases (Win8 being the major item) – you won’t be disappointed. Here it is:

And here’s a quick peak at what’s in the “What’s Next” Booth on the floor at CES this year for MS.
