In his third consecutive appearance at CES, Gates pointed to the release of three Microsoft® consumer products in the past year -- the Windows® XP operating system, Xbox (TM) video game system and MSN® 7 Internet service -- that have simplified daily tasks for people and helped them be more productive, communicate with friends and family, and enjoy personalized and more compelling forms of digital entertainment. Gates showed a number of new Microsoft products, including two sets of technologies code-named "Mira" and "Freestyle," which extend the Windows XP experience, making it accessible anywhere in the home and enabling an environment in which the experience can be more easily shared.
