CES officially began late last night with the opening keynote from Microsoft.  There were some very exciting announcements from Vista to 10.4 million Xbox 360 consoles sold to date.  But none of the news was more exciting than that of the IPTV announcement.  IPTV is expected to be available this holiday 2007 season.

“Our goal is to make entertainment more personal, more interactive and more social,” Bach said.  “IPTV on Xbox 360 and Xbox Live are powerful examples of ways we are bringing together the worlds of gaming, TV viewing and community to make it easy for people to access and discover their favorite content and share their personal experiences with the communities they are part of.”
