Looks like the video link went live.

 

[Frustrated_me]

I'm SO pumped for this.

Better than pretending to work for the next hour....

 

[StudioTan]

Really excited!

I just got an Asus Slate a couple of weeks ago and I'm dying to get Win8 on there.

 

[VanMardigan]

I'm putting Windows 8 on my HP Tablet (no, not the Touchpad), I can't wait!! Hopefully we get a beta release before the year is out.

I think I'll pick up lunch early and eat it at my work desk while streaming this. I'm such a geek

 

[glaurung]

How much longer till the keynote starts?

I am drunk and in Europe and I cannot calculate your crazy two-letter abbreviated time zone codes.

46 minutes.

About 45 mins.

 

[crazy monkey]

where it is going to be streamed?

 

[StudioTan]

Check the OP, click the Win logo.

Anyone know of a mobile-compatible stream that would work on Windows Phone?

I hope we'll be able to get it today. I just got a new HDD for the X220 tablet here and I want to try it.

Ah yes, the irony. No Silverlight browser plug-in for an OS that is based on Silverlight. Bittersweet.

 

[DavieC726]

<---Streaming it from a public Library....double dork!

 

[glaurung]

OK, nice. I'll skip off home and watch the keynote on my MBP.

 

[Damon Bennet]

I need a windows 8 tablet at once. My laptop dies and I only need it for word and internet. a system which lets me use word AND use it compfortably in a train to browse the net is something i need.

Bittersweet, but totally modern MS. They seem to always have ridiculous shit like this go on.

That remains to be seen.

Even Pages on iPad is kind of flimsy for my needs when working on proper documents.

 

[clav]

I'm still using a Dell laptop that I've had for nearly six years. Waiting for Windows 8 as the tablet + keyboard lifestyle will go mainstream and ultimately replace laptops.

 

[crazy monkey]

Check the OP, click the Win logo.

haha I hope win8 is not designed like this. People like me will be searching for things forever. I want things to be specified in the big bold latter like" click here to open video" lol

Part of me says you clicked last page and posted you want video now.

:\

I intentionally put the media links at the top since this thread was opened as in the past conference topics, I always noticed in both gaming and off topic threads how people always hid those video and live blog links either in the middle or at the end of the first post.

To be fair, right above the logo is says "Video Stream: Live! Click the Windows logo to launch (Requires Silverlight.)"

Sorry I did not read in red now I know. Sorry again. I did looked at it twice but eyes are trained to look for link. Very Nice OP by the way.

 

[clav]

omgawd a countdown timer appeared

It's OK. I'm cranky in the morning, but once my coffee kicks in, then I'm good.

 

[StudioTan]

Oh god, I'll be muting the audio until it starts. The cheesy corporate video music just kicked in.

 

[brotkasten]

Won't worry, it's not you, it's him. People don't read OPs.

 

[clav]

Animations going on.

I guess I'll link that live blog to winrumors and istartedsomething.

edit: Those two sites created new blog entries. Linked.

 

[dude]

So excited!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Wooooooooooo! Let's get this party started! Show me the goods!

 

[Zombie James]

Is this in a stadium or something? Place looks packed.

 

[Windu]

OOoooo people

Edit: let's play the game "spot the female"

 

[clav]

Looks like BGR, Gizmodo, and TechCrunch aren't in the conference. No live links.

I see Apple laptops.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It's in the arena connected to the Anaheim Convention Center. It's a bit small so it looks packed.

 

[brotkasten]

"Neeeeeerds!"

 

[Chris R]

.Net dev here, I wanna see some cool shit!

 

[angelfly]

Silverlight forcing me to watch this through a VM. Curious as to what will be shown even though I have no plans to purchase any of it.

 

[DavieC726]

OOoooo people

Edit: let's play the game "spot the female"

I played that game....Saw a lady waving like she was high on something. Very enthusiastic..kinda a WTF moment

Reminds me of Microsoft's lizard lady. Holly? Molly? I can't remember the name, but she was worse than Nintendo's Cammy. When I saw hear, I thought she wanted to eat my soul. Too bad that I don't have one anymore, ha!

e: I found her! Liz, like the lizard! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvET21wfuVA

 

[Vanillalite]

From This is my Next!

[Steelyuhas]

Right on time! Let's do this!

 

[Damon Bennet]

[D4Danger]

7 > XP

[brotkasten]

I see different layouts for the tiles on the W8 start screen. That's cool.

 

[dude]

Windows 7 is a beast

XP dethroned, bitches.

 

[Vanillalite]

IDK if I'm happy about that Win 7 # or sad that it means so many people still use XP. :| lol

 

[clav]

:O that home screen.

 

[D4Danger]
