Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer took the keynote stage last night at the CES and reports of his speech are less than inspiring. Sam Diaz thinks it’s time to give the CES kickoff keynote to another company, given Microsoft’s inability to inspire attendees of the biggest geekfest in the U.S. Mary Jo Foley believes the most important thing about Ballmer’s keynote is what he didn’t say, and that’s not really the purpose of a big company keynote address. Both of my colleagues are correct that Microsoft is no longer inspiring those who follow the company’s mobile offerings; the fact is the folks in Redmond have lost their mobile mojo.
