Bill Gates - Convergence hype now a reality

Bill Gates in his keynote at CES 2007 speech says that convergence is now a reality. Microsoft would offer an Xbox 360 game console that doubles as a set-top box for its Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) service, which delivers high-quality video over Internet networks. The IPTV Xbox 360 set-top box would allow users to not only play games, but also grab videos from any PC in the home and display it on the living room television, download high-definition video, and have a normal TV viewing on par — if not better — than cable or satellite. Let us wait to hear what news Steve Jobs will give on Tuesday and MacWorld. His webcast should be available for on-demand pretty shortly.
