GATES OPENING SPEECH AT COMDEX

In 2 statements:

1. Make everyday "objects" more intelligent:
:: Devices that display "glanceable information" (alarm clocks, wrist watches)
:: Smart Displays, formerly code-named "Mira," meant to let users at home access their PCs without being tied to a desk. The screens can be detached and used with a pen to access the Web, check e-mail, run programs and play music using a wireless link between the display and the desktop PC
:: Software like OneNote, which lets users take notes on the screen without being having to work within the constraints of a word-processing program

2. Get Microsoft Software into living rooms
:: Xbox
:: Windows Media Center Edition (play music, record TV and play DVDs)
