There are lines to wait in line for

from JoeUser Forums

It took over 2 hours to get to CES today. The size of the show this year seems to, but doesn't necessarily, dwarf previous years.  So I just got to the show and have just finished visiting the Microsoft and LG booths. There's some really cool stuff being shown.

I'll write more about it when I get to the press room er I mean, blogger room. Incidentally, bloggers are definitely not treated at the same level as press (our badges are white, press is read).  Which is ironic since many if not most of the "press" people here work for places that have a trivial readership compared to what Neowin.net or WinCustomize can deliver. 

Of course, I feel dirty being labeled either since I'm a software developer too. :)

Do the "bloggers" get any extra parties or food?

Get any good give aways yet?

Guess ya need to pay your money and open a booth and stick someone in it and then go see the rest of the stuff.  Ya should then have a vendors badge. :LOL:

Thats a really good idea ! Stardock should be there and take part and be placed with the rest of them.
2009 would be the year to do it too...

Well I did get a free zune with WinCustomize.com etched on the back. That was really cool. And Microsoft has been really cool to me here.

Toshiba gave me a really nice backpack.

And the blogger lounge was catered quite nicely.

Nah, I think it should go to a WC admin.  We can give it to the admin whose real first name comes first alphabetically ;p

LOL

No, No, No! The Zune should go to the hard working support staff, without question!

So did microsoft have more to show regarding that thing where there's no keyboard n such like but you just move your hands to open windows n stuff,i'm not sure if you touch the screen to move & do tasks,there was a little bit of it shown last year sometime.
