[edit] 2005

This section mentions a demonstration that went wrong as Bill Gates gave his keynote address but doesn't say what it was. What was it? --Indigest 07:01, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006

One thing I'm leaving out of the 2006 section is the PS3 non-announcement, because I'm not sure it will be notable a year or two from now, but others can add it if they feel differently. --Interiot 17:57, 4 January 2006 (UTC)


The picture is described on 'January 4 2006". According to the text, the CES started the day after. Huh?? --Chorocobo 11:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General background information

What does "taking up to 18 days to setup, run and break down" refer to in the first section. It could refer to two things, and it is unclear to me which it refers to. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.131.47.237 (talk) 02:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Notable product introductions

Wasn't Microsoft's Windows Vista introduced at 2007's CES? Extranet (Talk | Contribs) 01:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

For the most part, the "Notable introductions" section lists introduced technologies that, from a historical perspective, revolutionized their industry. There's a couple that have snuck in there that are either not notable due to being too new to be proven yet (Blu-ray, HD-DVD), or just obscure (CD-i). I will remove those.

Why is Microsoft Surface mentioned as introduced at CES when it says on the Microsoft Surface page that it was announced on 29 May 2007 at the D5 conference? Is there a difference of "introduction" and "announcement", or is one of these statements wrong?Ahltorp (talk) 13:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CESlogo.gif

Image:CESlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Microsoft Ad?

CES has been running for many years, but I find it absurd that every highlight seems to involve Microsoft.

Reading this article could make someone who has never attended CES that it's a Microsoft event. Could someone fix the article a bit so that it shows information about other brands? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.222.233.148 (talk) 11:18, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
