Microsoft at CES

As much as I like Apple's iLife applications, I left CES with the clear impression that Microsoft's home experience will once again leapfrog Apple. I guess it's time for me to start shopping for a new home PC.[VentureBlog]

I hope (and assume) that Apple actually has great hardware for working with home entertainment systems still in the lab and due to be released later this year. It really doesn't seem likely that Apple's entire consumer R&D team were doing nothing but developing a smaller iPod for the last year or so.

We'll find out.
