Microsoft shows off fall products at N.Y. extravaganza
While Microsoft didn't have anything new to announce at its first annual Open House in New York on Tuesday, it spent a lot of money turning the huge New York Armory into a showcase for its fall product line.
Robbie Bach, head of Microsoft's entertainment and devices division, delivered a 30-minute opening presentation highlighting everything from Windows 7 to Windows Phone to Xbox Live and Zune. But the Open House was really intended to be an open house, with a heavy emphasis on lifestyle applications for the company's various products.
There was also some rather funky stuff (read:weird) that included women dressed up in bird costumes. So check out the slideshow below--and Natali Del Conte's video report, above--to get the full flavor of the event. And as always, feel free to comment.
Hunkered down in New York City, Executive Editor David Carnoy covers the gamut of gadgets and writes his Fully Equipped column, which carries the tag line "The electronics you lust for." He's also the author of "Knife Music," a novel. E-mail David. Follow David on Twitter.

- And just think they don't charge you $100.00 a year to remotely wipe your phone or use GPS to locate like the "fruit factory" does. With Windows mobile it will be a per use fee which is fair. I'm waiting on the pre-order to begin for my new Motorola Cliq on T-mobile which will allow you to wipe your phone and locate it for free.<br /><br />Competition is wonderful! The consumer is the winner.
