Scott Fulton, BetaNews: While the P.A. system and the streaming video feeds worldwide played tracks from Pickin' on Pink Floyd: A Bluegrass Tribute (our Sharon Fisher picked out the tracks), about a thousand attendees, by Nate Mook's count, waited anxiously for Microsoft to announce whatever they were going to announce. Meanwhile, in the press aisles, Microsoft's handlers were passing out copies of releases stating what it is they were about to have seen after 90 minutes had passed. Ninety minutes later, it isn't as though the world had changed, but perhaps the CES show did. Maybe we're talking about Vista now more than we thought we would.
