Microsoft Is Way Overdue In Leaving CES Keynote ? More Room For Companies That Ship

The topic around the olives and cheese plate last week at an extended family Christmas gathering was, interestingly enough, Microsoft distancing itself from CES. My family, not ordinarily given to tech gossip, was alarmed, thinking that perhaps there was a grand re-ordering of things that they should know about. It's a remarkably straightforward move, far from the conspiracy theories the last few days have spawned, but when you're dealing with bruisers like Microsoft and CES, everything is swathed in diplomacy as would be ostensibly amicable divorce proceedings. But Microsoft's grievances are legitimate and the move is a smart one. "Our product news milestones generally don't align with the show's January timing." How true that is, and as others have pointed out, their product news generally didn't align with products, either. And they're aware that their news is propagating in a completely different way than it used to.
