How would you rate the Microsoft Conference? Everything you wanted?

I thought it started great! New features, fast system, Skype, new Kinect, confirmed Blu-ray, great speech movement improvements, Snapping, fast switching. So exited.

Then it was sports, sports and more sports. I really don't care about them at all. And more sports! Now fantasy American Football! (Starting to wonder if I should have stayed in bed.)

And a dog. Ugh, another dog? Now it's Fable of Duty? Seriously? How about seeing some other kids of games? Or just other games in general? Even talk about the specs, that would be more interesting that more sports or Dog of Duty.

But the absolute worst part for me is Steven Spielberg's involvement in the Halo TV show. I fear he will dumb it down and ruin it. Ruin it bad he will. Terra Nova - I wanted to like that show cause it had some good actors And dinosaurs, but even that couldn't save it. Seriously, Steven – create your own show!

The Halo service 'Forward Unto Dawn' team was great! They should be doing the show - smart, slick, good acting, and very talented. But no, some guy who used to make good movies runs in and takes over. So very sad about that I am.

So I give it a 5/10 and am no longer a day one buyer. At least with what I have seen so far.

Edit - OK, I calmed down a bit.  Watching some of the tech/what it can do stuff and then it puts it more like a 7.5 or 8/10.  (Still dreading 'Halo Goonies.' - Please, oh, please do not let that happen.!)
