Steve Ballmer at CES 2010
Took this photo last year in Vegas when Steve was speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show.
I’m not there this year, but am eager to hear what he has to say, especially after such a rip-roaring 2010 with the launches of Windows Phone 7 and Kinect for Xbox 360.
His speech starts at 6.30pm PST so watch it live on the Microsoft News Center or on our Facebook page
If you’re in Europe and 3am is a little early for you, watch the webcast in the sames places tomorrow over your cornflakes.
Also, make sure you follow Microsoft on Twitter for all the updates from the show!
